The 2026 draft reclassification and promotion lists will be published in Sysper on Thursday 11 June. There are now very limited options to influence whether your name is on the final lists when they are published mid-November. We have a lunchtime event planned to explain both what happens next and what those limited options are that are available to you if you find that your name is not on that list (and you believe that it should be). Please prepare for the event and start making notes for a potential appeal. Continue reading Conference: 11.06.2026 reclassification and promotion appeals, Generation 2004 is here to help →

Generation 2004 supports the petition in favour of Contract Agents (CA) – our support for the Contract Agents’ Collective

Contract Agents, Events, Newsletter-2026-05-29, Petition Print This Post

In the recent weeks and days, you might have received via email a petition from the ‘CA collective’. What the ‘CA collective’ is proposing is not new to us. To a large extent, it is a reflection and continuation of the positions that we, as a staff association, have been advocating for over a long period of time and aligned with our postulates for CAs. 

Following the exchange of views with the colleagues involved, we understood their intentions and convictions and consequently we have decided to support the related petition. This position was re-confirmed during the conference organised on 4 May 2026.

AD7 Internal Competition: A Long-Awaited Breakthrough

Administrators, EPSO, Events, Newsletter-2026-04-17 Print This Post

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.
