Funding Opportunities for Researchers and Staff in the STARS EU

The STARS EU Alliance is committed to fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence in research across its member institutions through TIGs. To support these goals, it’s offered a variety of funding opportunities for researchers and staff.   There is a Funding Expert Group that gives support in joint applications for external funding both for research, innovation and education collaboration. They can also help connect researchers at the different partners.  Below are some of the key funding initiatives available:
  • Seed Grant for Joint Research Applications
  • Researchers from STARS EU universities can submit proposals for seed funding to develop collaborative research and innovation projects and apply to competitive calls.
  • Each grant gives financial support up to € 3.000/per partner involved and can be used for covering costs associated with international consortium meetings/writing sessions, and external consultancy services needed for the preparation of a funding application.
  • In order to be eligible, the application must include at least three STARS EU partners and be submitted to STARS EU at least three months before the deadline of submission of the envisaged Horizon Europe or FP10 call.
  • Please, read carefully the guidelines before placing your application.
  • The guidelines, application template and budget template are available on Share Point under the Funding Expert file.Â
