CLIDE — Intercultural Leadership in the Digital Era — is a two-year (120 ECTS) Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s co-funded by the European Union. It is delivered by a consortium coordinated by Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (Poland) together with the University of Granada (Spain), the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria in Steyr, University Hassan II of Casablanca (Morocco) and Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics (Ukraine). Students train to lead distributed, multicultural teams and navigate digital transformation, moving between at least two of the partner countries during the programme. The first intake begins in the 2026/2027 academic year, pending accreditation by the Polish Accreditation Committee.
