APPEAL PROCEDURE

This is to inform unsuccessful applicants to REM Plus 2 master degree on appeal procedure following the rejection of their application.

If the applicant does not agree with the final decision regarding EMJM selection or scholarships attribution procedures, then s/he may appeal this decision to the REM Plus 2 Joint Programme Board (JPB).

The procedure to follow for an appeal for any of the 2026-2029 editions is set as follows:

  1. In order to be valid, the appeal must include the corresponding letter of settlement template (see below) signed and dated, which has to be emailed to the REM Plus 2 Secretariat (info@master-remplus2.eu) in .pdf format to the attention of Prof. Jesús M. Blanco, REM Plus 2 Programme Director.
    • Appeal regarding selection to the EMJM (REJECTED APPLICANTS):
      Please, use the following appeal form for Rejected Applicants ( Template REJECTED). In the email to the REM Plus 2 Secretariat (info@master-remplus2.eu) “Appeal for Rejected Applicants” must be clearly stated in the email subject.
    • Appeal regarding scholarship attribution procedures (NON-ELIGIBLE and RESERVE LIST APPLICANTS):
      Please, use the following appeal form for Non-Eligible Applicants ( Template NON-ELIGIBLE). In the email to the REM Plus 2 Secretariat (info@master-remplus2.eu) “Appeal for Non-Eligible Applicants” must be clearly stated in the email subject.
  2. The appeal must be submitted within seven (7) calendar days following the publication of selection outcome and/or consortium scholarships attribution decisions.
  3. The appeal should set out fully the grounds upon which it disputes the decision of the JPB, together with copies of any relevant supporting documents or justifications upon which it relies. The grounds of the appeal must be based on new elements or facts which were not taken into consideration when the application was originally evaluated. It should be noted that the JPB may reject an appeal which is not submitted within the abovementioned period or which does not contain the necessary justifications or documentation.
  4. The JPB will examine every single appeal case and all the applicants will be informed of their respective appeal decision within thirty (30) working days after the abovementioned deadline of reception of the appeal form. The final decision can be “to reconsider” or “to deny” the appeal after deep examination of the applicant’s statement.

Disclaimer: the REM Plus 2 Joint Programme Board (JPB) is primarily responsible for conflict cases settlement. The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) should not be contacted directly by the student alone, but rather by the Consortium if the conflict, despite the appeal decision, is still not resolved.

Clause 6 of the REM Plus 2 Consortium Agreement constitutes the legal basis for the present appeals.
