UBL/CE PILLAR | VIRTUAL STAY SCHOLARSHIPS
Introduction
In 2021-2022, the world faced unforeseen hurdles, compelling us to rethink traditional approaches to education, collaboration, and professional development. Despite these challenges, our commitment to empowering the future workforce in Africa remained steadfast. As a response to the pandemic, we organized the Virtual Stay Scholarships, ensuring that learning and growth transcend physical limitations. We thought to facilitate the advanced development of innovative ideas, methods and training approaches by lecturers in order to push the issue of employability and ideally open up career paths for graduates. Therefore, each core partner university was providing three virtual stay scholarships. The beneficiaries were enabled to focus on developing solutions in the fields of our main project pillars (UBL/CE | Capacity Building (CB) | Research) for three month and to disseminate the results in the ACCESS network channels.

Each core partner university could select three applicants and their topics which fit the boundaries of this call. Nearly close to 2/3 of them fall into the field of UBL/CE and served as an inspiration for our partners to move forward with certain ideas. In some cases this scholarships even ended up as an job opportunity for the scholarship holders. These scholarships were specifically structured to address times in which the mobility was vastly limited. The beneficiaries were working from home and collaborating via Zoom and other digital channels.
