SEED4EU+ Call for applications for the academic year 2025–2026

The 4EU+ European University Alliance is launching the third round of the SEED4EU+ call. With a particular emphasis on research activities, this call seeks to provide seed funding for the implementation of novel ideas to foster 4EU+ cooperation. It offers our academic community the opportunity to collaborate on out-of-the-box initiatives that do not necessarily fit into customary calls for proposals, thus allowing them to broaden their creative horizons. Academic staff of the 4EU+ member universities is encouraged to submit joint, innovative proposals that will make a significant impact on strengthening the Alliance and develop our One Comprehensive Research-Intensive European University.

• The call is open to all academic disciplines. The proposed projects should fit thematically into at least one of the 4EU+ Flagships.
• The call is open to researchers and academics who hold a PhD and are affiliated with any of the eight 4EU+ member universities.
• Proposals should be submitted by teams that consist of participants from at least three of the 4EU+ member universities.
• Projects can run for a period of up to 12 months. The expected earliest starting date for projects is 1 January 2026.
• The programme is funded directly from the budgets of 4EU+ member universities. The maximum funding available per project is EUR 50,000.
• An information session for prospective applicants will be held on 23 June 2025, at 12:00.
• Applications close on 3 October 2025.
