The deadline for applications is 9 May 2010. Applications received after this date cannot be accepted. Only the candidates from participating countries are eligible to apply.

Only applications received online can be accepted. Candidates will need to indicate two referees who are willing to be contacted by e-mail. The final candidates will need to confirm their participation within a week of receiving notification of their selection. Failure to do so may result in removal from the list of candidates and the place being offered to another candidate from the reserve list.

Participants are expected to be available during the overall period of the Programme (July 2010-April 2011) and to attend each planned activity (two weeks in Austria and Slovakia, some days in Southeast Europe for the joint activities and five days in Belgium). The three parts of the Programme require full-time presence. Failure to attend the entire Programme will result in exclusion, and the Programme’s certificate will not be awarded.

The cost of participation in the Programme will be covered by the Programme. This will include travel costs, full room and board, visa fees and health insurance where required.
