To obtain the Diploma, you will need to attend diligently the courses, lectures and workshops and participate in an examination in English on Thursday, 6 July 2023 in the afternoon. The Foundation reserves the right to make a choice of the most qualified candidates to sit in the exam. For practical reasons, the number of participants taking the exam cannot be very large. The Director of the Summer Course has the discretion to make a selection based on comparison of the qualifications of interested applicants.

For that purpose, be sure to attach your CV with a list of publications and two referees in your application form. Please note that taking the exam also involves the payment of an administrative fee of 20€.

The diplomas will be awarded to successful participants during the closing ceremony of the 2023 Summer Course.
