EU plans to launch a €10 million scheme to give students hands-on experience in fields such as #cybersecurity, #bigdata, quantum or artificial intelligence. Participants will receive an average grant of €500 per month. The pilot will run from 2018 to 2020 and is expected to support 5.000-6.000 students. #H2020 #DigitalSkills #Erasmus
