Tips for Applicants
- ✓The international consortium is mandatory and evaluated from the LOI stage, clarify each member's role and the complementarity of expertise early, and confirm cross-border institutional commitments before submission.
- ✓The LOI is a competitive gate; use it to signal novelty and team fit clearly within the page limit, as selection rates are typically low.
- ✓Coordinate LOI ID requests across all consortium members before the 17 March 2026 deadline to avoid submission delays.
