Discover the future of well-being: 11 projects selected under the 8th EUniWell Seed Funding Call
The EUniWell Seed Funding Programme: Celebrating Collaboration and Innovation
Since its beginning, the EUniWell Seed Funding Programme has been a driving force for collaboration across our Alliance. With more than 70 successful projects and over 300 partners brought together across our members and beyond, it continues to foster impactful, interdisciplinary work that extends far beyond institutional boundaries.
The 8th EUniWell Seed Funding Call was met with great engagement: over 50 high-quality proposals were submitted, reflecting the creativity and commitment of our community. In May, eleven outstanding projects were selected for funding.
These funded projects represent every EUniWell Thematic Arena and include partners from all EUniWell member universities – a statement to the diversity and strength of our network. The selected projects explore a wide range of topics: from health and sustainability to cultural research, multilingualism, social equity, and the future of teacher education.
Together, they embody the spirit of EUniWell: uniting knowledge, driving change, and working towards well-being for all.
