GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The following activities can be eligible for funding, among others:

• partnerships for higher education institution, research/excellence centres in digital technologies and innovative businesses. They will need to be sustainable over time and show a high degree of integration. Actors involved in the partnership will need to define a common education and training agenda that could result not only in an improved offer for students, with clear learning outcomes, but also increase their international attractiveness; adequate measures of quality assurance and quality monitoring, as well as activities leading to mutual learning and exchange of good practices, will be implemented;
• upgrading technical equipment, to ensure that students have access to the latest technologies available in the market and improve facilities, as well as explore innovative ways to use technology in teaching and learning;
• tackling the shortage of teaching staff and providing access to high quality teaching; incentives could be provided for professors, experts and top researchers in digital areas to contribute to the teaching activities;
• providing support to students, via scholarships or fee waivers in order to allow everyone to have access to high-quality education in digital areas and to increase diversity in education and research.

These courses need to reflect the latest state of the art of the technologies, provide opportunities to students to have access to laboratories and testing and experimentation facilities and making use-where appropriate- of the EU data spaces. They will also make use of digital technologies to provide learning experiences that are flexible in time, scope end place.
