Evaluation Committee
A joint Evaluation Committee, appointed by the Study Coordinator (Studienbeauftragter) of the Faculty of Economics and Statistics of the University of Innsbruck, reviews all applications and consists of:
· One representative from each of the three DIGISOC degree-awarding universities;
· At least one student representative from the University of Innsbruck;
· Disability officer at the University of Innsbruck.
The Committee is appointed after the deadline for application submission and completes the evaluation process no later than 15 days after the deadline.
Awarding Criteria and Evaluation Procedure
The joint Evaluation Committee will evaluate each application and award points based on the following criteria:
1. Students with certified disabilities
Applicants will be awarded points on the basis of the severity and impact of their condition, ranging from 5 points for a comparatively less impactful disability to 10 points for a very serious disability.
2. Migrants or refugees
Applicants will be awarded points as follows:
a. 10 points for refugee status;
b. 10 points for migrant status with less than 5 years in the current country of residence;
c. 5 points for migrant status with 5 or more years in the current country of residence.
3. Low socio-economic family condition
Applicants will be awarded 10 points if their family income falls within the first quartile (Q1), i.e. within the 25% of the population with the lowest incomes in their country of origin. Applicants will be awarded 5 points if their family income falls between the first and second quartile (Q2), i.e. within the range defined by the median income and Q1 in their country of origin. The reference fiscal year is the year preceding the year in which the application is submitted.
4. Remote areas
Applicants will be awarded 5 points for residence in a remote area. An additional 5 points will be awarded if the student’s residence is in a remote area with no regular access to higher education within a 100 km radius.
All applications will be ranked on the basis of the sum of points obtained across the four criteria. Each application can obtain a maximum of 30 points.
To determine the exact amount of the scholarship allocated to each applicant, the joint Evaluation Committee will use a proportional point-based model:
· Total funds available are divided by the sum of all points awarded across valid applications;
· This determines a value per point (EUR/point);
· Each applicant receives funding according to their own score, up to the maximum of EUR 3,000.00.
The decision of the joint Evaluation Committee is final, subject to the appeal procedure set out in Article 6.
The exact amount of funding and its composition awarded to each applicant will be published via the Learning Management System OpenOLAT. This publication constitutes as notification.

In the DIGITAL-2022-SKILLS-03 callPDF, there are no specific rules as to the type of resources to be covered by the participant or the contribution from the third parties and it is not a requirement to identify cash or other specific spending per item or activity.
If the 'course payment' refers to the 'fee to be paid for the course' by participants, this may be covered within the above description depending on the formulation of the detailed budget.
