    * some events need to be attended
    * blogposts about every activity

Check out what is expected from slides 19 ff based on career stage

**Application closes 31.10**

Main part of application: 6 min voice-over slide presentation
* who you are professionally
* what you do
* plans for the fellowship
    
COVID-19 considerations: online based events are encouraged

Fellowship cannot cover staff time (eg for preparing workshops) but eg for paying helpers for workshops,  but must be discussed on a case-by-case basis. 
Fellowshiop can also be used to pay for small equipment or subscriptions of Zoom, gathertown etc, in general stuff that is needed for organizing a successful workshop.
