Before the start of each academic year, in June, the first allocation of places for the activities is carried out by drawing lots among the schools that have pre-registered.

After the draw, the proposals that have not been awarded can be consulted and requested directly through the activity search engine on this website. Likewise, new activities that are added during the school year can be requested in the same way.

All applications and bookings must be managed through the activities section of this website. To do this, you must first be logged in using the "Log in" button.

Login and registration on the platform

If you are a user of an educational centre entering the new platform for the first time, you will have to go through the password recovery process to create a new password and be able to access it.

If you are a user of an educational centre that is not registered, you will first have to complete the registration process by filling in your details and providing the code of your educational centre. Once you have registered you will be able to start making applications.

Pre-registration procedure

Enter the desired activity and click on the "Apply" button. Choose the sessions that fit your group's schedule. The more dates you choose, the greater the chances of being able to do the activity.

In order to equalise the chances of getting a place for all schools and class groups, you can only make one application per activity, school, educational level and class group. If you want to make another application for the same activity and level, you must confirm that it is for a different class group.

If you choose more than one session, you can sort them by preference. Under "Your choice" you will see all the sessions you have selected. When the draw is made, the algorithm assigns the first available session in the order of preference indicated. If you do not set an order of preference, the sessions are distributed chronologically, assigning the session closest in time.

Once you have completed your registration, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive it, please check your spam. You can also check the status of your applications on the website by clicking on the button with your name on it, once you have logged in.

The draw

During the day of the draw you cannot make any applications. If you are allocated a session, you will receive a confirmation email. If you are not allocated a place, you will be put on the waiting list and you will receive a notification by email.

If you get a place, the reservation for the corresponding activity will be formalised. If the time of the booking is to be agreed, the research centre will contact you to arrange the time.

On the other hand, at least 15 days before the activity, it is necessary to contact the research centre to confirm the number of students who will attend the activity and to clarify any doubts.

Open phase

Once the draw has been made, as long as an activity has sessions available, you will be able to apply for one or more sessions. If none of the sessions of an activity suits you, or if an activity has no sessions available, you can make a waiting list request. 

Cancellations

If it is necessary to cancel a booking, please make the cancellation on this website 15 days before the activity, in order to give the option of booking to schools on the waiting list.

If you find yourself obliged to cancel an activity after this time limit, you must justify the reason for cancellation and the incident will be analysed. If it is not considered justifiable, it will be considered to prevent the school from participating in the next edition of Escolab.

Frequently asked questions

Before sending us an enquiry, please check this section. You may find the answer you are looking for.

Check that it's not in your spam folder. If not, check that the email address is spelled correctly in your user profile.

You can change your applications as many times as you wish until the date of the draw or as long as they are on the waiting list. You can also cancel your application at any time.

At the end of the draw an email is sent to all applications, whether they have been successful or remain on the waiting list. Check your spam folder. If not, check that the email address is spelled correctly in your user profile.

Yes, however, only one application can be made per activity, school, level and class group. If you wish to make another application for the same activity and the same level, you will be asked to confirm that it is for a different class group.

At least 15 days before the activity, contact the research centre to confirm the number of students who will participate and to clarify any doubts you may have about the activity.

If the booking has not yet been confirmed by the research centre, cancelling means deleting the application. You will be able to create a new one if you need to.

If the booking is confirmed, cancellation means that the request is blocked. You will not be able to reactivate your request if you do not contact the research centre.

Remember that the cancellation must be made at least 15 days in advance. If this cancellation occurs less than 15 days before the date of the activity, the reason for the incident will be analysed and, if it is not considered justifiable, it will be considered to prevent the school from participating in the next edition of Escolab.

In the pre-registration phase, the deadline is the day before the draw. In the open phase, once the draw has taken place, if the activity is available, you can apply for it directly from the activities page of the website throughout the school year or you can be added to the waiting list if there are no sessions available. 

Yes, you can join the waiting list. You will be notified at a later date if places become available. You can do this at the same place where you would click to book it.

When new places are created, an email is sent to all applications on the waiting list for them to review their application within a maximum of 48 hours. After this time, the oldest applications will be given preference in the allocation of places. During this period all new applications for this activity will also be placed on the waiting list.  

When sessions are released that already have applications on the waiting list, the released session will be assigned to the first application on the list. 

Log in to your user area and you will be able to delete your application from the waiting list.

Each organising research centre determines the date and timetable of its activity according to its capacities and availability. Timetables can only be changed in the case of sessions with a time to be agreed and arranged with the organising centre.

If the activity has more than one session available, you can book for each group of students, but they will be treated independently, i.e. the bookings will not be linked in the case of the draw. Each organising research centre determines the number of students and the date of their activity according to their capacities and availability. We must respect their indications.

Each organising research centre determines the maximum number of places it can receive according to its capacity. Generally, these are small spaces and we must respect their indications.

The educational centre can be changed from your user profile. The email address cannot be changed. In this case you will have to register again with the new email address.

Escolab activities are aimed at schools and bookings are made by teachers. If you are interested in any of the activities still available, you can encourage your teacher to make a reservation for the whole class.
