Seed Funding
The EU-CONEXUS community brings together researchers, teachers and students from the different partner institutions and aims to foster internal collaboration between them by offering Seed Funding.
EU-CONEXUS is an education and research alliance addressing global and local challenges by tackling coastal environmental, technical, economic and societal needs.
The overall objective of the Seed Funding is to enhance collaboration between EU-CONEXUS partners in education, research and innovation towards global challenges.
Research & academic teams from EU-CONEXUS partner universities can apply for funding through the Seed Funding in order to develop small-scale internal collaborative education, research and innovation projects starting from challenges in the field of Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability.
Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability (SmUCS) means for EU-CONEXUS to focus its education, research & innovation, and knowledge-sharing activities on defining, understanding and addressing societal challenges that are experienced by communities from urban and semi-urbanised coastal regions (rivers, seas and oceans). Expected outcomes of the projects must be tangible: possibility to work together on a bigger project, joint research, joint presentation in a conference, preparation of a joint publication, joint study programme, etc.
Seed Funding is now closed. It will open for applications in January 2025.
