Recommendation Letter (Optional)

As CLIMER brings together participants from across the globe, live sessions rarely fall at a convenient time for everyone. We do our best to find a slot in the schedule that works for the majority of time zones. Sessions generally take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12:00–15:00 Central European Time, though the exact timing is only confirmed once the cohort has been selected. If sessions fall during your regular working hours, you are expected to clear this with your employer in advance.

Participants are expected to attend as many live sessions as possible and to review recordings when live attendance isn't feasible. To be eligible for the certificate, an overall attendance rate of 90% is required, with at least 70% attended live.

If you can't commit to live participation, this programme is not for you.

Recorded sessions are only counted towards attendance when the accompanying quiz is completed.

The anticipated workload is approximately 2-3 hours per week, consisting of sessions, self-paced learning, and group work.

I am willing to commit to the workload and time commitment required of the programme.

I understand that programme sessions may occur during my normal working hours, and I commit to getting clearance from my employer to prioritize the sessions.

I understand that the CLIMER Programme is conducted in English, and I confirm that I am fluent in English.

I understand that the Climer Programme is designed for young professionals who have already commenced their careers, and not for students, with the exception of PhD candidates.

Climer is most effective when participants engage fully, with cameras on and voices contributing to the discussion. I understand this expectation and commit to active participation by keeping my camera on and taking part in session discussions.

I understand and acknowledge the standard programme fee is €3,000.

Payment plans and 'Pay what You Can' options are available. Bursaries are available for Global South Applicants.
