We are experiencing a technical problem on our website. Some visitors on the ILYO 2024 website may see content from last year's edition, especially if they visited our website in 2023 and saved its subpages in the "favorites" tab.

We therefore confirm that the only valid application deadline for 2024 is April 30 (NOT May 15).

We are working intensively to solve this problem.

NOTE: The error does not affect the website functionality. The application form works without any disruptions and your applications reach us without any problems.
