Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in joining the next Cohort of Belgium's 40 under 40, starting in September 2024!
In order to accept your application,
we ask you to answer a few questions and write a personal application letter to convince us why we should select YOU! The letter must be written in English, and no longer than 6000 characters. We are looking for authentic and personal testimonials, not AI-generated stories of extraordinary accomplishments! For tips about
the application letter, please visit our webpage: www.40under40.be/selectionBefore starting the application process, please take a minute to read the following guidelines:
1) We strongly recommend you to first visit our website to discover the program, the activities and the required time commitment, as well as all the details regarding the selection process:
www.40under40.be 2) The application form is made of 5 pages, please make sure you have carefully answered all the questions before moving to the next section.
3) If you feel that one of the open questions is not relevant to your profile, please indicate it in the answer box and we will take it into account when reviewing your application. We reckon that all candidates are different and that the form may lack the nuance required by certain personal situations.
4) Once your application is submitted, you will receive a copy of your answers by e-mail. This message is automatic, if you do not receive it, you will need to restart the application process and submit your application again. Note that it can take a few minutes for the confirmation of submission to arrive in your inbox.
5) Only one application form per candidate will be taken into account. In case of multiple submissions, only the last submission will be considered as valid. If you spot a mistake in your application, please send an e-mail to
contact@40under40.be describing your problem.
6) Only applications submitted through this form are valid, we do not accept applications submitted by e-mail (unless instructed otherwise).
7) The application period ends on Sunday June 2, 2024, at 23:59 (CEST). We may close the application period earlier, and accept a maximum of 500 applications for this round. Should it be the case, an earlier closure date would be announced on our
LinkedIn page.
