Description
The AI4Gov-X Cascade Funding Call reduces financial barriers to specialised education and supports employment opportunities in digital government. POLI.design runs the call on behalf of the AI4Gov-X consortium, whose project is co-funded by the European Union through the Digital Europe Programme’s support for specialised education in key capacity areas.
The call has two objectives: assistance with travel, accommodation and participation fees for the MagiX master’s course or official AI4Gov-X extracurricular activities, and internship top-ups for MagiX students. Selection considers relevant academic and professional experience, motivation, expected learning and career impact, financial need, and European added value. POLI.design selects beneficiaries and pays support directly under its own responsibility; the cascade call itself is not an EU action.
