Cube: Submitting an Application

Participants who wish to attend our programs at ICERM will need to submit an application through our web application Cube before attendance to ICERM. This page will describe how to access the application form as well as check on the status of any previously submitted applications. A Cube profile is required to apply to any program or event being hosted by ICERM.

Accessing the Application

Completing an Application

To begin the application process you must select the program you wish to apply for from the top program selection followed by entering the expected dates of your attendance to the ICERM program. The form features a 'Virtual Participant' checkbox which should be used to indicate if you intend to attend an ICERM program virtually*. (see screenshot below)

^{*Note that selecting virtual participation may change the requirements of the remainder of the application form.}^{ICERM will not be offering any financial reimbursement for virtual participation at this time.}

For requesting funds

Program applications at ICERM will require the submission of a Curriculum Vitae (including publications, PDF less than 2.5MB) to be uploaded via the file upload button (see screenshot below).

When every thing goes well, the file name should appear under the button "Received File: filename.pdf" (see screenshot below).
