The Circle U. seed funding scheme aims to support the developmental stages of a project at an early stage. The objective is to foster new collaborations across institutions in the Circle U. alliance. It is a mechanism that provides academic and research staff and students with opportunities to develop projects across the alliance, to strengthen the alliance and to drive bottom-up initiatives.
Eligibility: The 2025 call for applications is open to academic and research staff from all disciplines and levels working at any Circle U. member universities, to administrative/professional staff as well as to students working or being enrolled at any Circle U. member universities. Projects should involve staff or students from at least 3 partner universities.
