Applicants are responsible for preparing and submitting their applications. It is crucial to ensure that the application is complete, including all required host institution documents and referee assessments.

Before starting the application, applicants should carefully review the Selection Committee Guide, which outlines the evaluation criteria and provides helpful information on how applications are assessed.
