Important information to read before applying

Before apply­ing you are request­ed to exam­ine the ded­i­cat­ed web­site as well as the gen­er­al eli­gi­bil­i­ty cri­te­ria for a paid trainee­ship (Arti­cle 8 of the Deci­sion ADMIN(2017)28 – Paid trainee­ship)

Each select­ed trainee will receive a month­ly grant to cov­er liv­ing expens­es. All costs relat­ed to trav­el inside the coun­try of res­i­dence, visa, insur­ance, accom­mo­da­tion must be borne by the trainee.

Appli­ca­tions from non-eli­gi­ble can­di­dates will not be con­sid­ered. After the eval­u­a­tion of all appli­ca­tions, short­list­ed can­di­dates will be con­tact­ed and invit­ed for an inter­view. Unsuc­cess­ful can­di­dates will be noti­fied by email. In case the select­ed can­di­date is not able to present the required doc­u­ments, his/her can­di­da­cy will be reject­ed.

EU can­di­dates cur­rent­ly resid­ing in Belarus must pro­vide proof that they will be cov­ered against the risk of a pan­dem­ic and the costs of repa­tri­a­tion.

The trainee­ships can only be offered in com­pli­ance with the local leg­is­la­tion as well as the leg­is­la­tion of the coun­try of ori­gin. In assess­ing the appli­ca­tions received, account will need to be tak­en of the COVID-19 sit­u­a­tion and its pos­si­ble effects on access pos­si­bil­i­ties to the coun­try of assign­ment and thus can­di­dates cur­rent­ly resid­ing in coun­try of assign­ment might be pre­ferred.

The Del­e­ga­tion informs that even if our Head­quar­ters con­firm the eli­gi­bil­i­ty of the select­ed can­di­date, trainee­ships could be post­poned, sus­pend­ed or even can­celled con­sid­er­ing the very evolv­ing con­text of the COVID-19 out­break in the host coun­try as well as in the coun­try of ori­gin. The same rule apply if a select­ed can­di­date is unable to reach the coun­try of assign­ment.
