Why participate?
- Each Winter or Summer School is organised by a different EU-CONEXUS partner university – a great chance to visit various European countries.
- During the one-week programme, students and lecturers from all 9 alliance universities come together.
- Micro-credentials are unique and do not repeat, making this a one-time opportunity – apply while places are available.
- Each micro-credential is worth 1 ECTS (25–30 hours of total workload, including 10–12 contact hours). The final session is dedicated to assessment.
- Participation is free of charge, and selected students receive an EU-CONEXUS scholarship that covers travel, accommodation, and meals (according to the policies of their home university).
