Tips for applying for a submission
General advice from us, the same for every submission. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Read the guidelines first: length, format, language and theme.
- Check who owns your work after you send it. The rules usually say.
- Send it a day early. Upload pages are often slow near a deadline.
All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.
How to apply
You apply on UNESCO with ENS-PSL's own website, not here. We never send an application for anybody and we never ask you for anything to pass on. Check their page for anything not shown here.
