How
to Apply:
Proposals must be submitted electronically, using the European Commission’s
Online Submission Service (SEP), by the supervisor. It is your responsibility
to ensure the timely submission of your proposal. To avoid being late and miss
the deadline, you should submit your proposal in SEP as soon as possible since
any other successive submission overwrites the previous version. In the very
unlikely event of a failure of the SEP service during the last 24 hours of this
call, the deadline can be extended by a further 24 hours. Such a failure is
extremely rare and exceptional. Therefore do not assume that there will be an
extension.
