Documents you’ll need for the applications:

  • A copy of your ID card or passport 
  • Original transcripts and diploma of previous academic studies. (Official documents are originals from issuing institutions or notarized copies. Faxed or scanned copies are not considered official. Applicants who applied online must mail the additional items. For questions or clarifications please contact the Glocal Coordinator). 
  • A copy of your updated curriculum vitae 
  • A personal statement - describing your relevant background, why you wish to join Glocal, and your career objectives. This document is embedded in the Glocal application platform: you need to answer the questions on the form and upload it.
