Letters of recommendation

Please list the names and contact details of two referees of your choice. Once you have submitted your application, the referees will automatically receive an email with a link where they are asked to answer some questions on you and your performance. The form also contains a “commen” field, where referees can copy and paste a recommendation letter. Please note, that email will be sent from "noreply@opencampus.net" with subject header "Reference request your first name your last name / IMPRS CoNI" and that it may take some time until your referees receive it.

Please ask your referees for permission before you name them. The deadline for recommendation letters is November 20th 2023. You and the referee will both receive an email confirming successful upload of the recommendation letter.

Please keep in mind: It is your responsibility to ensure that the recommendation letters are sent in due time. Only complete applications (including two letters of reference) will be considered for evaluation.
