	supervision provided, and
	the applicant's contribution to and expectations of LUOVA.

In case the supervisor applicant does not have an established position at the university or his/her research institute, he/she must also explain how supervision and stable working conditions are quaranteed to students for the entire duration of their four-year PhD projects.

All applicants must attach a short CV to the application.

LUOVA's coordinator will deliver the application to the board of LUOVA that decides on the supervisor's acceptance.
