14 projects selected for seed funding to boost collaboration between Aalto, KU Leuven, and University of Helsinki
The second exploratory seed funding call launched by Aalto University, KU Leuven, and the University of Helsinki has successfully concluded with the selection of 14 outstanding projects. These initiatives, spanning diverse disciplines, aim to strengthen research collaboration between the three strategic partners.
The call, open from 15 May to 10 September 2024, encouraged researchers from the three institutions to form consortia and propose innovative approaches to exploring or enhancing research collaboration. This second round followed the success of the inaugural round of the exploratory seed fund call in 2022 (focusing on digital humanities and sustainability) which demonstrated its impact by fostering high-quality research collaboration and inspiring joint future funding proposals.
Each selected project will receive up to €30,000 in funding, distributed equally among the three participating institutions. The funded projects lay the groundwork for future joint research endeavors, reinforcing the strategic partnership’s goal to fostering impactful and interdisciplinary collaboration.
This initiative underscores the shared commitment of Aalto University, KU Leuven, and the University of Helsinki to advance cutting-edge research through international collaboration.
Details about the selected projects can be found on the call page.
