Good morning, I am about to attach the information to apply for the 2024 Margarita Salas Awards, but when completing the registration through the Community of Madrid website, it does not allow me to correctly load the pdf of the doctor's degree, memory, and annexes.
I get an error: The parameters entered are incorrect
The document does not exist in the MINIO exchange folder.
I don't know how I can attach them correctly, or if I can formalize the registration through an email.
