The EKÖP project supports students, doctoral candidates and young academics and researchers who are engaged in effective research and creative work in the higher education institutions participating in the programme, whether they are studying for a bachelor's, master's or doctorate.

The project will help to attract the next generation of researchers and artists to careers in research and innovation, and to develop the research and creative activities of researchers and artists already in the field, by providing international quality support at certain stages of their careers.
