EPSO has been really active before heading into the annual summer break in August. The Economists competition was released in June, and in short order two more competitions will be released starting with the EUIPO one on 20 July. Just this week, EPSO updated their website with new release dates for competitions, with one big surprise.
The big surprise is regarding the cancelled AST3 competition where there were originally 6 profiles. Now, in this latest update there are only 3, all of them finance profiles. This has left the candidates from the other 3 profiles in Communications feeling confused and left out - especially those who passed the original pre-selection CBT.
A couple of the other competitions had their grades and release dates clarified, because this was unsure after the initial announcement back in May.
Watch this space, because per usual we will hold information webcasts for all the competitions shortly after EPSO releases the Notice of Competitions.
Here is the list of EPSO competitions that we already knew about and open for application in June/July.
