Reserve List

After passing all stages of an EPSO competition, successful candidates (also called 'laureates') are placed on the so-called Reserve List.

This list is published in the Official Journal of the EU and everyone on it can be recruited by any EU institution for a permanent post. Each reserve list has a validity of 1-3 years, depending on the competition and also on when the next competition in the same field is due to be published.

The validity can be extended in case there are still candidates on the list, based on the decision of EPSO.
