1. English will be the working language of the school. There will be approximately 70 participants who are expected to attend all lectures and seminars and to stay for the whole of the week-long course.
2. Applications should be submitted with the following information, required also for those who have previously attended Isodarco sessions: full name; gender; present full address, email address, and (if available) telephone and fax numbers; nationality; degree and/or other academic qualifications; fields of interest, current professional activities, and work address; a list of publications or a letter of recommendation from a professor or a scholar in the field.
3. Applications should be submitted on-line at www.isodarco.it

4. Applicants who need a visa to come to Italy should apply to Isodarco by Monday, October 10th, 2022, indicate in their application to which Italian Consulate they intend to apply and apply for the visa immediately after being accepted to attend the course. Many Italian Consulates are reluctant to grant visas for a course that lasts only one week and therefore the applicants must provide the Italian Consular Authorities with evidence of their professional qualifications and their specific professional interest in the topic of the course and convince them that their only reason to come to Italy is to attend the Isodarco course. Isodarco, as an NGO, is not able to influence the decisions of the Italian Consular Authorities.
Applicants who do not need a visa should apply by Monday, November 7th, 2022.
5. Participants at Isodarco courses must respect all Italian laws and regulations, and especially those relating to the world health situation.
6. Applications will be considered by the Organizing Committee on an evaluation of the information submitted. All applicants will be informed of the Committee’s decision as soon as possible and before November 14th, 2022 (those who need a visa before October 17th).
7. Participants are requested to arrive at Andalo any time on Sunday, January 8th, 2023, and leave in the morning of Sunday, January 15th, 2023. The course ends on Saturday evening.
8. Participants are requested a contribution of 500.00 Euros. A reduced contribution of 300.00 Euros is requested from students born in 1996 or after and from participants from countries with foreign currency problems. If you wish to be considered for the reduced contribution you must explain in your application why you qualify for it. The contribution includes participation in the course and room and full board at Andalo for the entire duration of the course. Participants will be housed in double or triple rooms at Hotel Gruppo Brenta or nearby hotels or residences. The contribution for single room accommodation, if requested and available, will be 800.00 Euros; participants wishing to share a double room will be requested an additional contribution of 50.00 Euros each if we can meet their request.
9. A limited number of family members can be accommodated at the Hotel Gruppo Brenta or nearby. The contribution for room and board for each person is 550.00 Euros for the entire period. Given the limited number of places for families, each request will be examined on an individual basis. Participants wishing to bring their family should submit their application as soon as possible.

15. Isodarco reserves the right to cancel the course, postpone it, or introduce changes in the program depending on the development of the world health situation. It is impossible today to predict what the situation will be next January and you must contact the Italian Consulate closest to you for updated information. Should the situation force cancellation, postponement, or major changes in the program of the course, Isodarco will return all contributions received from the participants who will not attend.
