The EU's external relations commissioner, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, spoke about the importance of academic exchanges but added that the EU would choose students "very carefully," noting --n an allusion to international concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions -- that "I don't think there will be immediately applications for nuclear technology."
The scholarships will be available for courses of study ranging from three months to three years, starting from the academic year 2007-2008.
