Master School and Fellowship Open Call 2026
Universities, academic consortia, and education-focused innovators – this call is for you!
The Master School and Fellowship Open Call is designed to accelerate the development and delivery of high-quality learning experiences that build the skills and capabilities needed for sustainable urban mobility.
This Call focuses on a series of specific activity areas aimed at meeting the objectives of the EIT Urban Mobility Master School and the EIT Urban Mobility Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) Fellowship. The Call supports proposals that contribute to closing the knowledge gap within urban mobility by offering high-quality, challenge-based, intersectoral, and international education.
We are seeking proposals that align with the key objectives of the Master School and I&E Fellowship, including fostering innovation and entrepreneurship skills, increasing student and graduate volumes, strengthening links to industry and cities, and supporting startup creation through EIT-labelled programmes.
Who can apply?
This Call is open to organisations from the Member States of the European Union, and Third Countries associated with Horizon Europe. This Call is open to multi-participant proposals or mono-participant proposals.
In the case of mono-participant proposals, it is considered that the pan-European dimension is achieved through the network and truly international experience required from all our Master School and Fellowship programmes with compulsory mobility requirements embedded in the curriculum. Our programmes bring together students and teaching staff from the whole of Europe and beyond, attracting the best talent globally. In addition to this, universities who become partners in the Master School are required to sign the Master School Agreement, thereby becoming part of the consortium of partners jointly supporting the delivery of the EIT Urban Mobility Master School and offering the programmes. A similar agreement will be in place for the EIT Urban Mobility I&E Fellowship, which universities selected to take part will be required to join.
In case of multi-participant proposals, as a minimum requirement, proposals must be composed of at least two independent legal entities established in two different EU Member States and/or Third countries associated to Horizon Europe.
For information on special cases, including Switzerland and Hungarian universities please refer to section 2.1 of the Call Manual.
