Help page for the CV

This guide explains the mandatory structure for the CV you must submit for the Predoctoral Contract application. Your CV must strictly follow these three sections, as outlined in Annex III.

The evaluation is based on a competitive process. The Evaluation Committee can only score what is declared and proven.

Strict Length Limit: The entire CV must not exceed 4 pages.
You must submit documentary proof (PDFs) for every merit you list in Sections 2 and 3.
- Administrative Requirement: We are legally unable to score any merit for which the corresponding documentation (PDF) is not included in your application package.
- Proof Format: The supporting documents (PDFs) do not need to be ultra-official (unless they are academic transcripts), but they must clearly show your name, the date, and the activity/outcome being claimed (e.g., a certificate of attendance, a project contract cover, a publication abstract, etc.).
