Call Summer 2025
University of Trento, Italy
With the aim of promoting internationalization and providing new opportunities that contribute to students' academic, professional, and personal development, Tecnológico de Monterrey, in collaboration with the University of Trento and with the support of the Erasmus+ program, is publishing this call for financial support scholarships so that more students can enjoy an academic experience abroad during their professional studies in the summer of 2025.
Purpose
The School of Innovation from the University of Trento is organizing the "Shaping the Future of Chocolate" Summer Challenge within the framework of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU) forum. The program combines online and in-person activities from May 13 to June 11. The activities consist of five online sessions and one in-person week in Trento, scheduled from June 7 to 11, 2025. In-person attendance at Trento during this week is mandatory, and four scholarships will be awarded for airfare and subsistence expenses.
This is an opportunity to work on an innovative and sustainable food solution. This challenge fosters creativity, analytical skills, and strategic thinking through practical experience.
