No, this should not dissuade you from applying. Speaking the language of the host country is not always compulsory as many of the universities that take part in the projects conduct their teaching and assessment through the medium of English. There are also opportunities to take language courses should you wish, as many scholars find this helps with settling into their new living environment. Ensure you check the host universities language requirements on the relevant project website before applying.
