Preparing for EPSO Open Competitions for the European Institutions (Advanced Level)" - Luxembourg, from 07-11 July 2008 (MAAS)

The European Centre for Judges and Lawyers, the Luxembourg Antenna of the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA), is organising his Annual Summer School on “Preparing for EPSO Open Competitions for the European Institutions (Advanced Level)” which will take place at the Jean Monnet building of the European Commission in Luxembourg, on 07 - 11 July 2008.

The European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) regularly announces open competitions for positions within the EU institutions. They are highly competitive, which makes thorough preparation essential. With this course, EIPA offers comprehensive training on how to prepare for the written and oral tests. The focus will be on topical issues, such as the latest developments in certain EU policies, recent changes in the EU institutional design and the future of the EU. The training will also provide tips and tricks on how to pass the verbal and numerical reasoning tests, write a good essay and pass the oral examination.

This summer school is designed mainly, but not exclusively, for those applying for positions within the EU institutions at Administrator level (“AD grades”). The training may also be of interest to those applying for other grades or those who simply wish to update their knowledge of EU affairs and obtain a comprehensive overview.

For registrations received and the referring payment effectuated before May, 26th 2008, the registration fee is € 1200 (including documentation, beverages, 5 lunches and a cocktail/Reception). The fee for registrations after this date is € 1425. The working language of the Summer School will be English.
