EIT Digital 2021 Call is open! (submissions until 7 May 2020)

EIT Digital is seeking proposals for joining existing Master programmes 

The proposals for new entries/exits will be reviewed in terms of how well they integrate with the existing education offering of the EIT Digital Master School. Evaluation criteria will include, but will not be limited to course content, location, potentials to attract students, opportunities for internships and characteristics of the local ecosystem. Proposals for new entries should have the potential to enrol at least 15 students in the first year of operation, with a possible yearly increase. Proposals for new exits should have the potential to enrol at least 10 students in the first year of operation, with a possible yearly increase. The proposal must outline specification plans to meet those recruitment targets. 

The EIT Digital Professional School provides courses in collaboration with Partners who commit into a 3-year collaboration with EIT Digital Professional School. During the first year, the course is developed and deployed for the first time. During the next two years, the course is deployed several times (at least 4 times). The revenues generated are shared by EIT Digital and the involved Partners. 

Professional School blended courses combine online (eLearning and/or mobileLearning) with face to face classes. EIT Digital uses a format where online modules are offered before the face to face seminar. The online modules typically correspond up to 5 ECTS, and the face to face seminars are 1-5 days. The online modules and face to face classes should reflect real business development experiences, digital transformation applications and technology aimed at business cases. Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) is one characteristic subject in the Professional School courses. 

The Summer Schools are open to EIT Digital Master School students and external participants, i.e. students from non-partner and partner universities and professionals from non-partner and partner companies/organisations. Local Summer School organisers are encouraged to be active in engaging non-EIT Digital students and industry professionals to join the Summer Schools. 

One of the main targets is to increase local impact through stronger local engagement; to this end, local companies and universities are invited to collaborate with the local Summer School organisers. There may be several Summer Schools running in parallel in one location.
