Leyenda (Legend) is the subtitle of Isaac Albéniz’s famous guitar piece, Asturias, that ‘lucky’ candidates could ‘enjoy’ even for an hour or more while waiting for the Portuguese helpdesk during EPSO’s recent Data Management (EPSO/AD/426/25) competition.

While some progress has been made, particularly with the launch of the AD7 internal competition, many of the structural challenges previously identified remain unresolved. At the same time, it is important to underline that AST/SC colleagues still do not have access to AD competitions, meaning that the move towards inclusiveness remains partial and that significant gaps persist.

The publication of the internal AD7 competition is more than just another call for applications. For many colleagues, it represents something much bigger: a long-overdue opening of real career opportunities.
For Generation 2004, this is not a coincidence. It is the result of years of sustained advocacy to make internal competitions more inclusive and to break down rigid barriers between staff categories.
