public call
A call, at a general level, is a public call made for something. It may be a call addressed to a particular person or to society as a whole.
The president of a country can summon an opposition leader to agree on essential measures or call on the community as a whole not to stage violent protests.
Many calls are usually disseminated through public announcements.
Other types of call
The call of creditors (when a debtor company seeks to enter into negotiations with those to whom it owes) and the call of shareholders (which seeks to bring together those who have shares in a company for a meeting) are other types of calls.
The term call is also usually accompanied by the concept of scholarships , either to take training courses or to carry out specific research. Generally, this type of funding is provided by foundations or universities, and in each case there are a series of requirements and limitations, such as age, nationality and the range of subjects or topics that candidates can propose (in the case of investigations).
The scholarships may include the necessary expenses for the transfer of the beneficiaries, since in many cases the calls focus on training or research abroad, and the duration of the benefit depends on the type of aid and the subject in question; In some cases it can last up to two years, while in others it can last for three months, for example.
Scholarship Features
On the other hand, it is also common to give scholarship recipients an amount of money periodically for their basic needs, or to invest in their work, since accommodation is always provided by the beneficiary foundation. Calls for scholarships are a commitment between two parties, which begins with funding and a series of opportunities offered by an institution and concludes with a number of obligations of the other party.
Among the obligations that usually arise from the provision of a scholarship is the detailed presentation and explanation of the results obtained during the experience. Likewise, if scholarship recipients decide to publish their work, they must record the financial aid they have received.
The calls for scholarships have a limited number of places and require a series of documents and test work, which are examined during a well-defined period, after which they communicate their decision. Likewise, beneficiaries have the right to establish a series of conditions that make a request incompatible; For example, in some cases applications from someone who has received similar help from another foundation shortly before are not accepted.
