Selection Criteria

As part of the process to select eligible applications, ARES considers the following criteria: Academic Program: The evaluation of the academic quality of the candidates will be based on the diplomas and the lists of courses taken, with results, teaching activities, research, and publications. For the courses, priority will be given to candidates who have not yet obtained a postgraduate degree, except in exceptional circumstances duly justified in the application file. Receipt of previous grants: priority will be given to applications that have not yet received a Belgian grant. Professional experience: ARES gives priority to candidates who, after their university studies, have been able to carry out a professional activity in a field related to the problems posed by development. The social impact of work experience is considered an important element of the evaluation of the candidate’s file. Part of a partner Institution: Applicants working in an ARES partner institution, either as part of institutional support, a development research project or a training program for the South, are automatically prioritized if all other criteria are met on selection. The applicant’s commitment to development initiatives: Particular attention will be given to application files from candidates who, in addition to their academic qualities, have proven their commitment to the development field. Commitment is illustrated by having worked with the least fortunate members of society and having engaged with them to find efficient ways to defend and promote their interests. Nationality Criteria: ARES wishes to diversify the geographical origin of its beneficiaries. For all its international courses and training under the Training, Research and Dissemination for Development program, 50% of the total number of apprentices are candidates from sub-Saharan Africa.
