The application process for the National Selection Process 2023 is open from May, 9 until November 9, 2022.
An application includes a topic overview in English, which is written on a specific topic. This year's selection topic is:
“With the Covid-19 pandemic forcing many schools to teach their pupils remotely, it has become evident how unprepared and ill-equipped many schools are for this task. How can the EU Member States both supply schools with necessary infrastructure and provide students and teachers with the necessary skills to navigate the modern digital environment? How can the EU support these efforts?”
You will find helpful documents and a template for the topic overview on the page of our National Selection Process.
Once you have finished writing your thematic proposal you can upload in the following online form, where you also submit further personal information for all participants. The template including your proposal should be uploaded as a Word document (.doc/.docx). To make the following process easier the name of the contact person and the school should be clearly visible in the title of the document: "firstname.surname_school.docx"
