Specific requirements for participation
The intent of the scholarship is to promote international mobility for artists who apply, following admission to international ‘in residence’ programs.
 The scholarship total amount is Euro 5,000 (five thousand) to be allocated throughout multiple awards, based on criteria taking into account artistic profile, clarity and significance of the projects, training opportunities offered by the host institution and quality of the project proposed (if any).

At the end of the period, the scholarship recipients will have to provide the Panel with a short dossier concerning the period of residence and the activities carried out. The scholarship grant may be suspended for justified reasons.
