Dear associations,

Unite! university alliance invites students and student associations to send proposals for collaborative projects for seed funding. The funding is open to all subjects and extracurricular topics. The objective is to activate Unite! students to jointly pursue new activities, e.g., joint projects, exhibitions, events, excursions, competitions, and hackathons, in areas such as innovation, sports, career, language, education, communication, outreach or any other promising idea.

Each proposal must include students from at least two Unite! universities. The nine Unite! universities include Aalto, KTH (Sweden), Grenoble INP-UGA (France), PoliTO (Italy), TU Darmstad (Germany), TU Graz (Austria), UPC (Spain), ULisboa (Portugal) and Wroclaw Tech (Poland).

The maximum amount of funding for an accepted proposal is 20 000 euros. The deadline for applications is 15 May 2023.

Who can apply?
