Important notes:

2. Application procedure is a little changed since September 2006 because BOVA secretariat takes a responsibility for compiling an application to NordForsk.
 

Application procedure for Baltic students

Following new stage of agreement with NordForsk for applications of Baltic PhD students to NOVA PhD courses new application procedure was prepared since September 2006.
 

You should apply by following steps (updated in August 2006):

2. Check on the NOVA website, whether the specific course has its particular registration form/procedure. Fill in such form and send it to the relevant person as indicated on the website and a copy to local BOVA coordinator (EPMU, LLU, LZUU, LVA) and BOVA secretariat ([email protected]). Apply by email message if there is no application form for a certain course. In both cases you should also attach a CV and note that compiled list of Baltic applicants will be provided from BOVA secretariat.
