To encourage participation of developing countries and subject to availability of funds, one full, or two partial fellowships may be granted per eligible Member State. Full fellowship will cover the
air ticket (one return economy class ticket by the most direct/economical route from the country of origin to the meeting venue), and an appropriate
daily subsistence allowance (intended to cover accommodation, meals and incidental expenses). In case of two partial fellowships, at least one should be the air ticket. Member States shall cover the remainder of the cost of the participation.
The duly validated
fellowship request form (Annex 3) and its annexes must be returned to Fellowship Service by e-mail to
