The results are in! 11 projects selected for funding under the 10th EUniWell Seed Funding Call

08/06/2026 | by Katharina Schlepper | European Universities Participation Research Well-Being Seed Funding Call Semmelweis

From nearly 70 proposals, 11 outstanding projects have been selected to shape the next chapter of EUniWell collaboration. Beginning in September 2026, they will transform innovative ideas into joint action for well-being across Europe.

With the selection of its 10th round of funded projects, the EUniWell Seed Funding Programme continues to strengthen collaboration across our Alliance. Since its launch, the programme has enabled researchers, educators, and innovators from across the EUniWell universities to develop joint ideas that contribute to well-being in all its dimensions.

Starting on 1 September 2026, 11 new projects will begin their work, bringing together partners from across the Alliance to advance research, education, and innovation on well-being. The selected projects reflect the collaborative spirit of EUniWell, with every member university represented in at least one project. This funding round also marks an important milestone for our newest Alliance member, the Medical University of Warsaw, which will coordinate a Seed Funding project for the first time.

Interest in this year's call was once again exceptionally high. Nearly 70 project proposals were submitted, making the selection process highly competitive and highlighting the remarkable quality and diversity of ideas emerging from within our Alliance.

We are looking forward to seeing these new collaborations develop over the coming months and are confident that the selected projects will grow from promising ideas into lasting partnerships that create meaningful impact for well-being across Europe.
