Application Review Process and assignment notifications (block B):

In order to increase the number of nationalities attending the course, one student of each nationality with the highest mark will be prioritize in the first place. Please note that PhD, Master and Bachelor student applications will be also prioritized in that order.

Important note: The grant covers course registration fees, meals and accomodation at the UIMP facilities, for six days, from sunday 16th to friday 21th of June (both included). If required due to travel dates restrictions, any extra night of accomodation before 16th of june or after 21th of june can be purchased at a reduced rate of about 35€/night. In the same way, extra meals can be purchased at 8€/meal. If required, it should be notified upon grant acceptance once the travel details have been arranged by the student, and should be paid in person at UIMP facilities before leaving the UIMP after the course. At the time of writing, the extra accomodation nights cannot be paid in cash, only credit card.
