Heads of Departments

Eurojust’s Administration consists of various units, secretariats and offices, out of which several are organised into departments headed by a Head of Department.

The Operations Department includes the Casework Unit (Serious and Organised Crime), Casework Unit (Counter-Terrorism and Core International Crimes), the Data Management Unit, the National Desk Support Unit and the JITs, EJN and Genocide Prosecution Network Secretariats. Ms Federica Curtol is the Head of Operations Department.

The Resources Department consists of the Budget, Finance and Planning Unit, the Events, Logistics and Security Unit, the Human Resources Unit, the Information Management Unit and the ICT Security Office. Mr Roberto Lenti is the Head of Resources Department.

The Heads of Department support the Administrative Director in the day-to-day management of Eurojust, implementing the strategic vision of the organisation. Reporting directly to the Administrative Director, the Heads of Department provide the required leadership and management of resources of the Department. They are responsible for the provision of services and the well-functioning of the processes in their respective Departments.
