If so, this scholarship could be for you!

• learning about the ECB’s activities in central banking and banking supervision,
• meeting other scholarship recipients and joining the community of scholarship programme alumni,
• advice and mentoring from an ECB economist or expert in the field of banking supervision, statistics, engineering, or computer science.
