Common questions
- When is the next AD5 competition?
- EPSO hasn’t announced one. Its plan for 2027 doesn’t list an AD5 graduate competition. Applications for the current one (EPSO/AD/427/26) closed on 10 March 2026.
- How often is this page updated?
- We check EPSO’s website every week and update this page when something changes.
Dates come from EPSO’s website. The official notice of each competition takes priority.
