Erasmus Mundus (EMJD-DC) Scholarships

Background: Doctorate in Distributed Computing (EMJD-DC) is a joint PhD program which intends to become a model for international doctoral studies in Distributed Systems. Students bring out their research over up to four years in two universities from different countries. The research projects talk some of the significant technological challenges like ubiquitous data-intensive applications, scalable distributed systems, adaptive distributed systems, and applied distributed systems and emerging fields to address industrial and societal needs in the European and worldwide context. The consortium partners complement each other very well in their specialization fields of research, and in the corresponding training offers. The official  language of all training and research activities is English.
