For EIT Labelled Programmes Graduates: 

As a Graduate, what is the registration deadline?

For Graduates of the EIT Health Label Degree programmes, the registration to attend the Career Pathway: From Students to Innovators event will be opened from 01 October and will close on 10 November 2023 at 12pm CET. 

Participants will receive an invitation email that it will include the link to register to the event. If you have not recieved the email and link by 1st of October, please contact Mariana Mejica.

Once I complete the registration process, how long does it usually take to receive the grant?

We will start processing all registrations from 31st October onwards, which is when the Graduates' registration period closes. 

Once we process your registration, we will send to you and to the EIT Health Legal representative a Subgrant Agreement (SGA) to be digitally signed. The money transfer will be initiated after the Subgrant Agreement is signed by both parties.  

We highly recommend that you book your flight and accommodation as soon as possible – even before receiving the subgrant (400€)  

Once you register for the event, if your name has been provided by your Local Coordinator, your participation is confirmed and the grant secured.

If I register as a Graduate after the registration deadline, what are the implications?

Unfortunately, as a Graduate, it’s not possible to register after 10 November 2023.  
The registration form will be removed from the event’s website. 

Do I have to attend both days? Or, as a Graduate, is it also possible to attend only the graduation celebration?

You'll be expected to be present both days, not just the Graduation ceremony. 

We've planned an incredibly interesting agenda, full of exciting activities for you to actively participate in and engage with.

Check out the Agenda.

Is there a requirement to provide justification for grant usage and collect invoices, receipts, or other documentation?

You are required to attend the event making good use of the public funds. You might be requested to share your travel expenses, please do not submit them, but just keep the receipts in an online format. 

If I live in Barcelona, am I eligible to receive the subgrant?
