With the approval of its Management Board, EPSO has decided to postpone the publication of the AD5 generalist competition that was foreseen for July 2025. The date of publication will be communicated at a later stage after the summer.

EPSO is aware of the fact that this competition is eagerly awaited by citizens as a route to an EU career and of the disappointment this news may generate. 
However, the postponement decision was not taken lightly, and the launching of this competition remains a high priority goal in EPSO’s overall planning. 
EPSO is committed to ensuring a smooth and efficient candidate experience, and the delay is necessary to achieve this. Our goal is to facilitate a seamless transition between the current and the new test provider and allow sufficient time to establish a robust and functional IT platform, ensuring the proper functioning of remote testing on an unprecedented scale. Candidates will be supported with clear, detailed, and timely information and guidelines during the application and testing phase.
