Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « programme »: NEC is not a single call, but a family of schemes with different rules. The right move is to first check which scheme your profile can genuinely fit, then focus your effort on the project and proof of the doctorate. Recommendation letters should not divert attention from the core file, since they remain optional. Submit online on applications.nec.ro with a clear project, the diploma scan, and, if needed, your references ready in time.
