Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « OASIS »: for master’s applicants, this is not a simple document submission, because eligibility must first be registered and confirmed. The real trap is thinking that the thematic priority is enough, when the programme is mainly looking for a mid to senior level professional profile backed by evidence of experience and impact. If you are aiming for a fellowship, prepare the same core documents as for a master’s, but do not anchor your timing to an invented deadline. Prepare a short version of your background, your proof of experience and your eligible country now, then wait for the official opening before applying.
