    1. Hi, emmanuel,

      I will move right to your questions.
      1. According to what is written above ("the students study in at least three out of six consortium universities: * International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics at Lund University (Sweden)…"), Lund University is still under EM scholarship scheme.

      So, mind that you are not supposed to study only at Lund university, but also at min. 2 other places.

      2. You are expected to apply for the program at Central European University, as the Central European University manages the formalities of the admission process on behalf of the MESPOM Consortium.
      ("All MESPOM applications should be made to Central European University in accordance with CEU Admission Requirements.") You can find more info here: http://mespom.eu/how_to_apply

      There you will find all the instructions and application forms necessary.

      Good luck,
