Fri Apr 15 20:44:22 CEST 2011

Hello everyone! 

This is a reminder that the closing date deadline to get those applications in for funding for the Steens Workshops is APRIL 29th. That gives you 2 weeks. As it stands the Basque workshop has a lot of applications but can take some more and the Finnish one has quite a few also but still has room. The French workshop is still open to take many applicants but you better hurry before the big rush. 
Also just to remind you that should you need, please don't forget to contact one of us and we will only be glad to help you get through the process of filling out your application.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU THINK MAY BE INTERESTED IN APPLYING.

Best regards,
