Ranking:

The process of selecting and ranking applicants is carried out by the Coordination Committee, with a few added members of the Scientific Council.  External experts may be added to the Committee, whenever necessary. It involves a careful analysis of each candidate''''s curriculum vitae, including the  academic background (degree and eventually  GPA score), scientific experience,  letter of motivation and  reference letters, and, finally, demonstration of funding to support the fees.
