Call for UNITA Starting Grants

 

The UNITA Alliance aims to contribute to the educational, scientific and cultural progress of the regions of the countries participating in UNITA, promoting sustainable development, strengthening local innovation ecosystems supporting the transition to a knowledge-based economy, while promoting and accelerating European integration within and beyond the territories.

The Universities of the Alliance support the creation of translational thematic and interdisciplinary research groups, through matching events on research in different scientific topics and grants attributed to the projects developed among the partner Universities.

The UNITA Starting Grants on Research aim to accelerate the development of inter-university groups of educators, researchers and innovators who share a common interest in a field of knowledge and wish to develop it through the exchange of good practices and the launch of joint projects.

The projects must be submitted by teachers or researchers from at least three different university partners of the UNITA Alliance and should include postdoctoral and doctoral students in the working group.
