Application notesOn average, 15 residents work at EKWC simultaneously with new residents starting and completing residencies weekly. Residents can hire additional staff for labour-intensive projects. Technical advisers provide guidance and monitor work process but do not execute the resident's workplan. Applications must not be co-written with AI. Returning residents may apply but must clearly demonstrate how a second stay will contribute to their professional practice. Residents are responsible for their own visa applications; EKWC will assist if visa period conflicts with residency dates. Maximum 45 residents selected per cycle. Selection committee aims for diversity in Dutch/international balance, professional backgrounds, gender, and age. A €100 key deposit is required.
