7th EUniWell Seed Funding Call: 9 groundbreaking Projects selected!
With the Seed Funding Call being a cornerstone of the initiatives for the Alliance, the interest in this programme is increasing with every call. Over 50 quality proposals were submitted under the seventh EUniWell Seed Funding Call, making the selection process especially demanding. Ultimately, nine outstanding projects were selected for funding - all of them having the potential to enrich our understanding of well-being in research, education and campus life.
One of EUniWell’s Thematic Arenas was particularly of interest in this call: all nine selected projects relate to the Arena “Health and Well-Being” reflecting the growing importance and the diverse ways in which it is being explored and advanced through collaborative efforts across disciplines. The focus on Health and Well-Being once again emphasises the significance of fostering physical and mental health, essential pillars for the positive development of individuals, communities, and societies.
