In urgent cases, these documents can be forwarded directly by PAUSE programme to the consular posts. |

How to support the laureate's professional integration?
The host institution provides support for the laureate’s professional integration. This aims in particular to facilitate the exit of the PAUSE programme and to promote a longer-term stabilization of the scientists and artists hosted.
The PAUSE programme provides host institutions with additional funding dedicated to the professional training of the laureates. This annual budget is capped at €5,000 per beneficiary. This envelope is allocated according to te needs identified during an interview aimed at assessing the training needs of the laureate. These must be detailed in the training needs assessment form, to be completed online.
