The scholarship programme at ECAS office in Brussels continues into 2005. So far a number of NGO leaders from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and Latvia have already visited ECAS.

There are still places available for NGO leaders from Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Croatia, Belarus and Ukraine, so anyone who is  interested in spending one month in Brussels at ECAS office is encouraged to contact ECAS at:

 During your month long scholarship in Brussels accommodation is provided together with a stipend to cover your living costs. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements. ECAS will also provide technical support and guidance during your time in Brussels.

 In order to qualify for the scholarship in Brussels you should be a leader of an NGO community in your country (at least 2-3 years of experience) and be able to communicate in English. Other languages are an advantage but not a necessity.
