Erasmus mundus scholarships in geospatial information technologies - scholar - 12-12-2018
Geospatial information technologies have their roots primarily in three distinct areas: geosciences, computational technologies, and information science.
The three partner sites represent centers of excellence in these areas, recognized at the European and global levels.
The geoscientific and quantitative foundations of Geoinformatics at Münster, the computer science and technology skills taught at Castellón, and the mathematical and statistical methodologies emphasized in Lisbon complement each other in an ideal way to provide a rounded, but compact education in this interdisciplinary technological field.
The composition is a complementary approach of the partners’ different research and educational profiles in an area where each partner is a leader in their own country and recognized internationally.
The Masters Program has been selected within the Erasmus Mundus Program of the European Commission (2007-0064/001 FRAME MUNB123), re-selected for five further editions starting in 2012 (FPA-2012-0191), and again re-selected for three further editions starting in 2017 (grant agreement 2016-2054).
The EU will granted ~ 19 Category A scholarships for Partner Countries Students and ~ 2 Category B scholarships for a Programme Country Student. for the editions 2017, 2018, and 2019 (number of scholarships to be confirmed).
Application for scholarships: January 15, 2017/2018/2019
