How To Apply
Fill up the application below and send it to:
Communications concerning the school will be sent via e-mail: applicants need therefore to have an e-mail address. No material or information will be sent by regular mail.
A committee appointed by the organisers will examine all applications and select seventy participants for the school. Successful candidates will receive a confirmation message as soon as the selection process is completed.
Due to a temporary malfunctioning of the mailserver (which has been under attack from May 8 to May 12), the Executive Committe has postponed the applications deadline to MAY 31.
Exceptional cases of late applications will be considered by the
Executive Committee until the 15th of June.
The total cost of the school (registration, accommodation, meals and tuition) will amount to:
510 EURO for accommodation in a double room
610 EURO for accommodation in a single room
As soon as candidates have been accepted, they will be asked to pay a deposit of
100 Euros
Students who withdraw from the school are not entitled to any refund. The remaining fee for the school must be paid during the week of your stay in Pontignano.
At least 15 scholarships of 100 euros each will be offered; the total number and amount of the scholarships is subject to increase: please check this page in the following weeks if you are interested. Students can apply after having been selected and having paid their admission fee.
