General Information

English will be the working language of the school. Approximately 60-80 participants are expected to attend the entire week-long course, staying for the duration and participating in all lectures and seminars.
Applications must include the following information, which must be submitted also by those who have attended previous Isodarco sessions: full name; date and place of birth; gender; present full address, email address, and (if available) telephone and fax numbers; nationality; degree and 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 these disciplines.
Applications should be submitted online at www.isodarco.it. Exceptionally applications can be emailed to Prof. Carlo Schaerf, Director of the School, at the address: isodarco@gmail.com
Applicants who need a visa to come to Italy should apply to Isodarco by Monday, October 6^th, 2025, indicating in their application to which Italian Consulate they intend to use, and apply for the visa immediately after being admitted to the course. Many Italian Consulates are reluctant to grant visas for a course that lasts only one week and therefore 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, cannot influence the decisions of the Italian Consular Authorities. Applicants who do not need a visa should apply by Monday, November 3^rd, 2025.
Participants in Isodarco courses must respect all Italian laws and regulations, including those relating to the world health situation.
The Organizing Committee will examine applications using the information submitted.
All applicants will be informed of the Committee’s decision as soon as possible and before November 14^th, 2025 (those who need a visa before October 17^th).
Participants are requested to arrive at Andalo any time on Sunday, January 11^th, 2026, and leave in the morning of Sunday, January 18^th, 2026. The course ends on Saturday at lunch time.
Participants are requested to contribute 500.00 Euros. A reduced contribution of € 300.00 can be applied to students born in 1997 or later and to participants from countries experiencing foreign currency issues. If you wish to be considered for the reduced contribution, you must explain in your application why you qualify for it. The contribution supports participation in the course, including room and full board, at Andalo for the entire duration. Participants will be housed in double or triple rooms at Hotel Gruppo Brenta or nearby hotels or residences. If requested and available, the contribution for single-room accommodation will be 900.00 Euros. If single rooms are not available, applicants will be informed that they can be hosted only in a double room and asked if they agree to this accommodation. You cannot request single-room accommodation and reduced contribution. Participants wishing to share a double room will be requested to contribute € 550.00 each, if we can accommodate their request.
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 individually. Participants wishing to bring their families should submit their applications as early as possible.
The school has no funds to help participants meet travel expenses.
The Course will be held at Hotel Gruppo Brenta, via Strigole 1, 38010 Andalo (Trento), Italy. Tel. (+39) 0461 585813.
Participants wishing to submit a paper for seminar consideration should enclose a short abstract of their proposed contribution in their application. The Director of the School will reserve some limited time for seminars considered particularly relevant to the course program.
By providing Isodarco with the required information to apply to the course, you consent to our use of it under the current data protection legislation (EU Regulation 2016/679). The information you provide will be used solely for your registration for the course and any other purposes required by Italian legislation. We will collect no additional personal data from you. No personal profiling based on your data will be performed by or on behalf of Isodarco. For more information, refer to the Legal Information Page.

After you have been admitted and secured your visa (if necessary) send the contribution indicated in your letter of admission before Monday, December 1^st, 2025. Your admission will be confirmed after we have received your contribution.
Isodarco reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or modify the course program, depending on the development of global circumstances.
Should the situation necessitate cancellation, postponement, or significant changes to the course program, Isodarco will refund all contributions received from participants who are unable to attend.
