Seed Funding 2025

Call for Proposals. Deadline: 18 June 2025

The Una Europa Seed Funding Call 2025 invites proposals for interdisciplinary projects in education, research, innovation, and societal outreach within its six Focus Areas: Cultural Heritage, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, Europe and the World, Future Materials and Technologies, One Health, and Sustainability. Applicants can secure up to €40,000 to initiate new collaborations across the Una Europa alliance and beyond.

 

 

 

The call is divided into two strands:

  • Strand A: Collaboration among Una Europa universities.

  • Strand B: Collaboration between Una Europa universities and institutions outside the alliance.

Each project must be coordinated by a Principal Investigator who is an established researcher affiliated with one of the Una Europa universities. Proposals should involve academic leads from multiple Una Europa institutions, with the option to include additional international university partners to foster broader collaboration.

The engagement of early-career researchers is strongly encouraged. Proposals that design formats of cooperation suitable to attract third-party funding in the long run are also encouraged.

The deadline for proposal submissions is 18 June 2025 at 17:00 CEST. For detailed information on eligibility criteria, application procedures, and to access necessary templates, please refer to the full call text.
