SEED4EU+ is an open call that reflects the holistic ambition of the Alliance to further integrate all university missions. It offers our academic community the opportunity to fund out-of-the-box initiatives that do not necessarily fit into customary calls for project proposals, thus allowing them to broaden their creative horizons. The funding of this initiative comes directly from the budgets of 4EU+ member universities. In the 2023 pilot call, 17 projects were selected for funding.
