EC Traineeship application not yet open?

Dear all,
Applications for the Stage program have not yet opened, have you heard when the system will open?
Thanks

Well, July is over and they didn't opened the applications. I think it is cancelled at this point.

I don't think they just cancelled a whole session.

Probably they don't know what to do with the October session. They offered March trainees to come back in October assuming everything will go back to normal and they will be able to go to the office, travel etc. But things are not getting better. So I think they just don't know what to do because if they don't offer a second contract to March trainees they risk having very few trainees in October. I believe this is why the selection process is still ongoing. Sooo I guess they're just postponing the March 2021 selection until they've decided what to do with the October 2020 candidates.
