About the opportunity
The EULiST Blended Intensive Program (BIP) titled «Advances in Sustainable Building Energy Technologies and Smart Decarbonisation» is a collaborative educational initiative organized by the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in cooperation with several European universities. The program combines virtual sessions to establish a conceptual foundation in energy performance and HVAC technologies, followed by an intensive on-site period in Athens. Students gain practical skills in building energy modelling using DesignBuilder, evaluate sustainable heating and cooling strategies, and develop low-carbon building solutions based on ASHRAE standards and nZEB concepts.
Funding and benefits
- Mobility funding provided by the sending university.
- Potential additional support for green travel.
- Free meals card for lunch and dinner at NTUA's restaurants.
- Suggested low-cost accommodation options near NTUA campuses.
Who can apply?
- Undergraduate students (after the 2nd year of studies) or postgraduate/Master level students.
- Students in fields such as Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Sustainable Design, and related STEM disciplines.
- English language proficiency of at least B1 level.
Required documents
- Certificate of studies (including GPA and field of study)
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- Motivation letter
- Proof of English language proficiency (minimum B1 level)

Our Take on This Opportunity
This section reflects Open Opportunities’ own analysis of the opportunity from an applicant’s perspective.
You may be a strong fit if…
- Undergraduate students past their second year and postgraduate or Master's students in relevant STEM disciplines.
- Learners interested in building energy modelling, smart decarbonisation, and sustainable heating or cooling strategies.
- Candidates with at least a B1 level of English proficiency.
What should you think carefully about?
- Participants must arrange and cover their own accommodation, relying on suggested low-cost options near NTUA campuses.
- Mobility funding depends on the sending university, and green travel support is only potential rather than guaranteed.
- Relocation to Athens is required for the on-site teaching portion of the program.
How could this fit your current goals and plans?
This blended intensive program fits goals centered on acquiring specialized technical skills in building energy modelling and gaining international academic exposure within a collaborative European framework.
Our take
Engineering and architecture students seeking hands-on sustainability training in Greece should seriously consider applying, provided they can manage their own local accommodation arrangements.
