Admission process
The admission process involves several stages common to all our residences.
- Once the applications have been received, an initial verification of eligibility is carried out internally. Validated applications are then assessed by experts and jury members. Finally, a selection of applications is made on the basis of these assessments, in conjunction with the Institute's Scientific Advisory Board. These stages can extend over several months, depending on the number of applications.
- A zoom meeting is scheduled in each process, but at different stages depending on the type of residency: prior to selection for chairs; after selection for classic and FIAS residencies.
- At the end of the selection process, candidates are informed of the results by e-mail. Three statuses are then communicated
- retained on the main list ;
- retained on waiting list ;
- not accepted.
- If accepted, the candidate must confirm his/her interest in the residency.
- Once this interest has been confirmed, the Institute contacts the candidate to agree on the legal, administrative and financial conditions of his/her stay.
- Finally, once the agreement has been signed, the logistical and scientific preparations for the arrival are put in place until the arrival in Nantes for the start of the residency.
