Keep the decision specific
- Check the exact program name, applicant gender, birth years and nationality conditions before preparing files.
- Separate the application deadline, selected-applicant announcement and event date. A future event alone does not establish open registration.
- A missing age or gender rule means confirmation is needed. It does not mean everyone qualifies.
- Basic eligibility is not an acceptance or trainee offer. Use the official form for material requirements and later screening instructions.
