Why did you choose to go to Linz, Austria?

I choose linz because of the kunstuniversitat and the ars electronica festival, they have a really awesome program in my field of study (digital art/ interface cultures), it was a great experience and even i extended the erasmus program cause i have been selected to participate in this featival, so like a dream come true!

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

The scholarship i recieved was 1200 euros and it payed my room only, but it was a great help to be able to afford the living in Austria.
