What does this call fund?
Scope
The call offers scholarships to students who want to strengthen their digital skills through an international placement in fields linked to the digitalisation of wind and energy systems. Selected students spend a six-month study period at NTNU in Norway in either the Spring or Autumn semester of 2027, enrolling in courses of the M.Sc. Electric Power Engineering or M.Sc. Marine Technology programmes.
Financial support
- Up to fifteen candidates receive a stipend of €6,940 each to cover living and subsistence costs during the six-month exchange.
- Exchange students from NTNU partner universities are exempt from tuition fees under NTNU rules.
- Students pay a mandatory welfare fee of about €70 per semester themselves.
- Stipends may be paid through cash cards for use within Norway; payment depends on signing the mobility agreement, confirmed enrolment and compliance with the call's requirements.
- The total amount of the call is €104,100. Autumn 2027 scholarships are funded from what remains after the Spring 2027 cut-off.

Eligible applications are evaluated by a panel of NTNU experts, ranked by score and awarded in order of merit. Successful applicants have five business days to accept the offer. Appeals can be lodged within three business days of receiving the result, mainly on grounds of errors in the assessment process or discrimination.
Diversity
Applications from women and from people of economically disadvantaged or diverse backgrounds are particularly encouraged.
