There are 120 delegate places available; 60 for international delegates and 60 for Irish delegates.

INTERNATIONAL DELEGATES

The working language of this Contact Seminar is English. To benefit from participation it is essential that all delegates have a good working knowledge of both written and spoken English.

Financial support may be available under the Preparatory Visit action within the LDV programme. Interested international applicants should apply to their own National Agency for Preparatory Visit funding.

The aim of the Dublin Contact Seminar is to welcome representatives of organisations from as many participating countries as possible. In situations where representatives of organisations from a particular country are not available to participate, we would welcome National Agency staff to attend instead. If the contact seminar is oversubscribed, relevant National Agencies will be consulted when selecting delegates.
