Application Review Process and assignment notifications (block B):
Students will be notified of acceptance in the ISLIST website and via e-mail late March, 2020. The selection process will be performed by an external committee, that will consider: The average mark of the academic certification, the overall number of nationalities attending the course, the level of the academic degree (PhD, Master, Bachelor), and all the additional required information. 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 accommodation at the UIMP facilities, for five nights, from Sunday night to Friday afternoon (when the course ends). If required due to travel dates restrictions, any extra night of accommodation before Sunday night or after Friday afternoon 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.
