The introduction of the new SHL Interactive G+ cognitive assessment in the recent AD7 internal competition has sparked significant discussion among colleagues across the European Commission. While cognitive testing is not new in EPSO procedures, this specific format represents a substantial evolution in both methodology and scope.
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
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.

On internal or open competitions, the notice of competition is the ‘bible’. Why? Due to its binding nature.

This article is a brief guide on procedures, rights and duties regarding complaints, queries, and legal remedies at your disposal when something goes wrong. Obviously, you should primarily focus on the content and not in the procedures. You should focus on the tests and not on complaints, queries and legal remedies, but it is quite important to master them when time comes.

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.
