4EU+ Alliance invites proposals for second round of SEED4EU+ initiative for academic collaboration and innovation

The 4EU+ Alliance is pleased to announce the launch of the second round of the SEED4EU+ initiative, a programme dedicated to providing seed funding for innovative projects that enhance cooperation among the 4EU+ member universities. With a particular emphasis on research activities, this call seeks to fund the implementation of novel ideas and contribute to the realisation of the 4EU+ mission. Academic staff at the eight member universities of the Alliance are encouraged to submit joint, innovative proposals that will significantly impact the strengthening of 4EU+, our strategic partnership, and broaden the engagement of all 4EU+ university communities in developing our One Comprehensive Research-Intensive European University.


Key details of the SEED4EU+ call

  • Eligibility: Researchers and academics who hold a PhD and are affiliated with one of the eight 4EU+ universities. Proposals must include participants from at least three of the 4EU+ member universities.

  • Funding: Up to 50,000 euros per project (funded directly from the budgets of 4EU+ member universities).

  • Duration: Projects can run for up to 12 months, with an expected start date of 1 January 2025.

  • Application deadline: 30 September 2024.

  • Scope: The call is open to all academic disciplines, with proposals required to fit thematically into at least one of the 4EU+ Flagships. Proposals with a strong research focus are particularly encouraged, though educational projects are also eligible.
