  • 63 students from 24 different countries will take part in the seventh edition of the programme, which is designed to strengthen the links between international talent and the Basque Country.

Bizkaia Talent has given a welcome to the participants of the seventh edition of the Be Basque Ambassadors programme, an initiative which involves 63 international students from 24 different countries this year. The aim of the programme is to accompany the international students in their personal and professional development, linking them up with the business, scientific and cultural ecosystem of Bizkaia.

Over the course of the academic year 2024/2025, the participants, who are currently carrying out Master or PhD degrees at one of the three Bizkaia universities (UPV/EHU, Deusto University and Mondragon University), will be able to take advantage of a wide range of activities designed to foster their integration in the province. Amongst these activities, emphasis must be given to the training workshops, sociocultural activities and visits to cutting-edge companies.

Furthermore, the programme offers personalised counselling about the necessary legal procedures, including those related to the transition from academic stay to job-hunting in the Basque Country.
