We’re pleased to announce that applications for the next Erasmus Mundus SDSI cohort (class of 2025/2027) will be open from November 26, 2024, to February 23, 2025. Prospective students can submit their applications via https://apply.sdsi.ma, which will be opened for applying on midnight of November 26, 2024. 

In the meantime, the SDSI team is thrilled to get to know and currently work with the SDSI class of 2024/2026. Out of a remarkable 598 applications received, 31 talented students from 22 different countries have joined us this year. Our new cohort includes 20 scholarship holders and 11 self-funded students who have just in September started their first-year studies in Kuldiga, Latvia, at the Art Academy of Latvia.

We’re also excited for our second-year students, who are now continuing their study journey at our partner institutions. In the 2nd year, the class is divided between the University of Lapland in Finland and the Estonian Academy of Arts, with one half studying in Finland and the other in Estonia. We love to see our second-year students gaining hands-on experience by working on real-life industry projects. For example, collaborating with the City of Tallinn's Strategic Management Office on municipal housing solutions and with Finnish partners on team-building strategies to promote green organizational behavior in rural areas.

Stay tuned for more updates!
