Summer school scholarship: An opportunity to study in the French Alps from June 29 to July 4, 2026!

Students of Aalto University schools ELEC, ENG and SCI have a unique opportunity to take part in the ‘Mountains in a Changing World’ summer school at Université Grenoble Alpes in France. The summer school is held in Grenoble, in the French Alps, and offers students the chance to deepen their understanding of changes in mountain environments and their impacts.

Summer school dates and further information:
Mountains in a Changing World summer school – Registration deadline for the summer school is the 7. May. Please note that Grenoble has changed the deadline to an earlier date than the one originally advertised!

Scholarship opportunity

Aalto University awards scholarships (€1 500 + participation fee) to ELEC, ENG and SCI students participating in the summer school. The scholarships are awarded in accordance with Aalto University’s principles for student exchange. In the case of competition, the grade point average is decisive.

Applying for a scholarship:

  • Students must apply separately both for the scholarship from Aalto and for a place in the summer school itself. Three Aalto students will be selected for the summer school.   
  • When applying for the scholarship, students must ensure that they can include the summer school credits of 3 ECTS as part of their Aalto University degree. This is done by filling in the study plan form, which must be signed by the planner of the student’s own degree programme.
  • The application, to which the study plan form must be attached, must be sent via the MoveOn system by 17 May 2026.

Further information:

  • Scholarships are awarded competitively, and in the case of competition, the grade point average is decisive.
