11th Seed Funding Call: Make a difference!

Create your own project for wellbeing

The EUniWell Seed Funding Programme is once again supporting initiatives across our alliance that demonstrate how innovation, research, and education can foster well-being. Students, researchers, educators, and all professional staff members from EUniWell’s member institutions are welcomed to submit their project ideas. Projects should enhance well-being in the areas of health, education, research, society and the environments, while fostering connections across borders.

Call outlines and matchmaking

To submit a proposal, the project team must include members (staff or matriculated students) from at least four universities of the EUniWell Alliance.

Proposals from all thematic fields are welcome, showing how well-being is integrated across different fields in our universities. Given the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) and well-being in research, education, and society, this call also welcomes proposals that address this emerging topic.

Projects may apply for a grant of €25,000, to be distributed amongt the collaborating partners, for completion within 12 months.

For the first time, research-focused projects can request a budget of up to €50,000 in exceptional cases. Please consult the FAQ document for further information.

If you have a project idea and are looking for additional collaborators, or if you would like to contribute to a project, you have the possibility to add an entry to our Research Data Sharing Platform. All entries are visible on the Announcements-Page of the EUniWell website.
