I hope you are doing well, and the end of the year is productive and rewarding.
As you might know, Cleantech Bulgaria is a partner of EIT Urban Mobility and we are regularly implementing initiatives under their programs. I would like to share with you an exciting opportunity about the EIT Urban Mobility RIS Education Winter School for Bachelor Students that we are currently running.Along with our partners from the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) and Project Aegle Foundation (PAF) we are developing a winter school on the topic of urban mobility, called EXCEL.
EXCEL enables bachelor students from RIS countries to take part in winter school activities dedicated to building an entrepreneurial mindset through inspiring activities, providing students with guidance from industry leaders, exploring cutting-edge technologies and engaging with local mobility ecosystems.
The Winter School is divided into two stages – a preparatory online week(January 2024), followed by a study visit to the island of Gozo, Malta for a week of face-to-face training (February 2024).Currently, we are recruiting bachelor students, who are in their second to last year of education, from RIS countries to apply for the EXCEL winter school and would be glad if we could offer this opportunity to students from your network. 40 students will be selected to participate in the winter school and their expenses for travel, accommodation and meals will be covered.
The EXCEL web page includes detailed information on the recruitment and, along with the application form, covers all eligibility conditions for students. We have hosted several webinars dedicated to assisting interested participants in the application process and covering interesting topics related to sustainable solutions in urban mobility. Students can review the recordings on the EXCEL web page HERE. We would be grateful if you disseminate this opportunity within your network and we hope to be able to host more students from Hungary in the programme.
The new deadline for applications is December 18th, 2023.
In case you need further information about the project and the Winter School, please do not hesitate to contact me.
