Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « home »: eligibility is not read only through nationality, but through residence status, and that is what can move you into a different application window. The second trap is the Recruitment Information Form: the main application is not enough, and missing this form removes the application from shortlisting. If you are targeting several projects, keep one personal statement broad enough to remain coherent across all three instead of writing three separate applications. Submit the main application first, then immediately complete the required form and add the 8-digit application number.
