This year, we received 53 applications, and 13 projects were selected for funding. Of these, 9 are led by women and 2 by students. A total of €110,000 has been allocated to the selected projects, including €10,000 for the student-led initiatives.
The Circle U. Seed Funding Scheme provides academics, administrative staff, and students with opportunities to develop innovative projects and collaborate with peers across institutions within the alliance.
Over the coming year, we’ll spotlight each project, sharing their objectives and introducing the universities and individuals driving them forward.
Congratulations once again to the academics, students, and administrative staff involved!
