Lib@Web is the successor to the STIMULATE ITP which has been running successfully for 10 years (2000-2010) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
News (20 April 2012) :
CONFIRMATION OF 2012 SESSION OCTOBER-DECEMBER !
Today the Belgian government has agreed to keep its commitment on the VLIR/UOS budget, so Lib@Web finally can confirm organizing the session in October-December 2012 !
Further instructions for the VLIR/UOS scholarship selected participants will follow soon by individual e-mails and a new program schedule will be prepared.
News (15 March 2012) :
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SELECTED PARTICIPANTS FOR THE 2012 SESSION : POSTPONEMENT
VLIR/UOS, our main sponsor, has experienced new problems with funding due to lack of clarity on the transfer from some of the powers, amongst which also university development co-operation, from the national (Belgian) to the regional (Flemish) level.
The Lib@Web Interuniversity Steering Committee has, in full consultation with the VLIR/UOS administration, not seen any other option or solution than taking the painful decision to again postpone the organisation of the ITP to Fall 2012 (October-December) in order to avoid any even more dramatic practical problems of having participants in Belgium without any funding secured at this moment.
VLIR/UOS is prepared to make any possible effort, as soon as some funding is secured, to include the Lib@Web ITP into this year's activity plan and maintain the selection of participants and organization, but at a later stage.
Participants will be contacted individually and kept informed about the new instructions and planning.
Needless to express our sincere regrets for this most unfortunate development !
News (October 2011) :
The first session of Lib@Web can finally be confirmed to run at University of Antwerp, April - June 2012. Self-funded applicants are still welcome and need to contact the promoter, prof. dr. E. de Smet at the e-mail address egbert.desmet[at]ua.ac.be.
For new scholarships a possible new call from VLIR/UOS has to be awaited, check their website : http://www.scholarships.vliruos.be . No inquiries about this will be directly handled by the Lib@Web organizers.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS :
W A R N I N G : The Lib@Web International Training Program will
not have a new intake for 2012. An application for 2013 will be sent in,
hopefully allowing a new intake in 2013. Please refrain from sending in applications or questions about it until further notice.
1. A full form in PDF-format, to be downloaded, printed, filled in and completed with attachments, is available here. This form is the only real application form, to be sent in by the deadline of 31st of January 2011.
2. For applicants who want to avoid making big efforts and expenses for the above form and who prefer to have a pre-screening based on a more limited set of information, there is an online-form at [http://eds.netcat.be/Lib@Web_form.php], which however also requires a passport picture and a C.V. in PDF-format to be available for uploading. After sending in this electronic form by the deadline of January 1st 2011, if complete and credible, feedback will be given as on whether the applicant should proceed with the full form, which remains a requirement anyway. A positive feedback however still does not give any guarantee for final selection, as many criteria and balancing requirements (age, gender, region/country) will be applied for that final selection.
We hope this way to minimize on unnecessary efforts and frustrations.
