The joint research project provides an exclusive opportunity to do innovative research within a fruitful partnership between an academic research institution, a large network operator and its strategic vendor partners.

The current research activities of SimTel Innovation focus on resilience in peer-to-peer and overlay networks. The project also focuses on solutions that improve the service availability and quality for wireless and mobile terminals in heterogeneous access networks. We are currently developing a scalable and deployable solution for multilink transport. We also envision cognitive radio as a natural evolution from the current scenario with dynamic use of multiple fixed technology spectrums. The topics for the new PhD students will be related to these current activities.

Simula Research Laboratory conducts basic research in the fields of communication technology, scientific computing and software engineering. The aim is to carry out top quality research, educate graduate university students and create new businesses.

Simula Innovation is the innovation and commercialization company owned by Simula Research Laboratory. Simula Innovation works closely with researchers at Simula Research Laboratory and assists them in their efforts to realize their insights in terms of real-world applications and commercial opportunities. For that purpose we have built up a comprehensive network of contacts with national and international business communities, investors and industrial resource people.

Telenor is emerging as one of the fastest growing providers of mobile communication services worldwide with more than 150 million subscriptions. Telenor is also the largest provider of TV services in the Nordic region. Telenor Research and Innovation (Telenor R&I) is one of Norway’s largest research establishments and collaborates extensively with academia and industrial partners both nationally and internationally. Based on its research competence and commercialization skills, Telenor R&I is able to realize new options in a variety of ways, e.g. through Telenor market units, in new business areas or as independent spin-offs from Telenor R&I, alone or in collaboration with third parties. This allows for great flexibility and agile management of new initiatives.

Citi Foundation at the European Business School

The Citi Foundation Scholarship Fund at the European Business School is presented by EBS Alumni and aimed at the advancement and support of socially disadvantaged, gifted potential students. The Citi Foundation’s funding will be used to alleviate the financial burden stemming from tuition fees. The scholarships will cover 50% of Bachelors or Masters tuition fees for one year.

The scholarship program targets young people from disadvantaged low-income families who usually have only limited access to education and training or minorities who often experience discrimination. We therefore intend to improve their chances via this advancement program and see this as a contribution to integration, as well as a valuable support of EBS’ scholarly aims to promote intercultural competence in its educational concept.

The Citi Foundation’s funding will be used to alleviate the financial burden stemming from tuition fees. The scholarships will cover 50% of Bachelors or Masters tuition fees for one year. All prospective and current students who fit the target group are invited to apply, the scholarships will be awarded based on academic excellence, need and an interview.

Important Information about the Application Procedure

Pelajar Yang Berhak Mendapatkan Beasiswa Who may apply ?
Your application will be considered if some or all of the following points apply to you:

1. You come from a low-income family.
2. You are a member of a minority.
3. You have a migrant background.

We also strive for a balanced number of low income students as well as an increase in the number female students and wish to create an elite of responsibility in Germany.

Langkah Untuk Apply Scholarship What do I have to hand in?
Please apply with all documents listed in the PDF download here.

Important information concerning eXebs fellows who already receive financial support through the eXebs Bildungsfonds: You don’t have to hand in all the financial documents, you just have to hand in a signed explanation that your financial situation has remained the same.

Important information concerning students who plan to apply for the eXebs Bildungsfonds: The documents you have to hand in for the Citi Scholarship are the same you have to hand in when applying for the eXebs Bildungsfonds. So it probably would make sense to apply for both scholarships at the same time.
