The Unite! Seed Fund aims to maximize the potential of the consortium. It is expected to provide financial support to innovative, co-creative, and collaboration-based ideas from scientists, researchers, and students across the community.
Through the Fund, the alliance supports the exploration and development of attractive and diverse activities and projects, helps secure additional funding for projects, or facilitates collaboration on joint, ambitious, and innovative ideas. Funding is open to all subjects and topics and is directed towards both in-person, hybrid, and purely digital formats.
One of the main challenges facing applicants seeking support from the fund is finding potential international partners within Unite!.
To address this issue, a virtual matchmaking event is scheduled for February 16th, 2024, from 14:00 to 16:00 CET, during which interested parties can present their projects to find partners or explore projects and applicants seeking partners.
The event will cover all three lines of funding (student activities, teaching and learning, research and doctoral studies). It is open to the entire Unite! community (faculty, teaching units, researchers, students, and student associations).
If you have a project idea you would like to present, please submit a brief summary (100 words) and contact information to seedfund@unite-university.eu no later than February 11th, 2024.
The call for proposals is open from January 15th to March 15th, 2024, via email to seedfund@unite-university.eu.
A decision on funding is expected to be made by June 2024.
Further information can be found on the Unite! website.
Inquiries and details can be obtained by contacting Dr. Anshika Suri and Konrad Löbcke at seedfund@unite-university.eu or by contacting the Unite! Student Coordinator, Katarzyna Sławińska-Oleszek.
