Next call autumn 2012

The Initiative on Legal Empowerment of the Poor (LEP) invites Master students at Lund University to apply for financial support, to be used for fieldwork conducted in relation to Master theses. In this round, LEP will only pay the travel fee to and from the fieldwork area (i.e. only trips that can be booked and paid in advance by LEP).
