Erasmus Mundus EMMIE Scholarship 2024/2025

The Erasmus Mundus Masters Impact Entrepreneurship Scholarship offers international students opportunities to develop expertise in integrated management and sustainable entrepreneurship. The 18-month EMMIE program will allow candidates to study master’s degree courses in universities across Europe, including Croatia, Lithuania, and Belgium.

EMMIE is a fully funded scholarship opportunity for future global business leaders, covering their tuition, travel, and living expenses during the program.

Meanwhile, the University of Liège (Belgium) focuses on entrepreneurship with an impact-driven approach.
