Update: LBUS Selection results (pdf)

The summer school Neuro-oncology and Neurovascular Surgery will be organized between 16th – 25th August 2021 in Sibiu and students from all the three universities will participate. The number of students accepted to take part in each event is: LBUS - 11 students, Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria - 7 students; Universita degli Studi Niccolo Cusano – 2 students.

The process of selection will be organized respecting the principles of transparency, the equality in terms of opportunities of access and avoiding the conflict of interests (in establishing the commission for selection and in granting);

Each university will organize the process of selection of students at the university level, giving all the necessary information about the number of available places, date and place of the selection, list of documents that participants must submit before the selection, eligibility criteria and selection criteria in a transparent way, preferably by posting all the information on a notice board.

After the process of selection, the list of selected students and the waiting list will be posted in descending order according to the score obtained by every student. The deadline until which the contestations can be submitted, the period and the manner of solution will be also made public.

The students selected by Universita degli Studi Niccolo Cusano and Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will have the transport covered and they will receive a daily grant for housing and subsistence costs. After taking part in the project’s activities the students will be awarded with 4 ECTS.
