    letter appears)

    keeping within the stated page limits (it may help to set your printer’s
    paper size to European A4)

    a .pdf file with the following filename: YOURNAME-IRIBHM2018.pdf.

    additional documents into .pdf files, making sure they are kept at a
    reasonable size (e.g., scan in B/W, 300 dpi) so as to not exceed email

    these documents at the end of the .pdf file resulting from this document
    so that the entire application consists of a single .pdf file.
In
addition, we request two letters of recommendation from scientists/professors
who are familiar with your academic work and who can judge your potential as a
PhD student. Please forward the model letter that appears as the last page of
this document to your chosen referees, and ask them to send their letters of
recommendation directly to iribhm-at-ulb.ac.be. These letters are an essential
part of your application, and it is your responsibility to ensure that the
referees write to us before April 22, 2018.
