Through the Erhard Busek Scholarship, highly qualified students from non-European developing countries are given the opportunity to pursue a two-year Master’s degree in STEM subjects at the University of Salzburg. At the Faculty of Digital and Analytical Sciences, several students are currently supported through this program. To facilitate their integration and provide ongoing guidance, a mentoring team has also been established to support the scholarship holders throughout their studies.

These current awards and scholarships underscore the dedicated research efforts of the Faculty’s students. The Faculty warmly congratulates all award recipients and scholarship holders and extends its gratitude to all supervisors, mentors, and colleagues for their continued support.
