📌The aim of the competition is to select scientific projects that will contribute to increasing the level of cooperation both between universities of the EDUC alliance and with local research ecosystems. The main focus is on topics that have the potential to impact “green” technologies, digital transformation and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

📌At this stage, scientists of the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University need to familiarize themselves with the field of scientific interests of the research infrastructures of the EDUC-WIDE alliance universities by calling https://educ.openup.education/facilities/, https://educ.openup.education/projects/ and find potential partners.
The competition application involves the formation of a mini-consortium with the participation of at least two partner universities, and a mandatory condition must be met – one of the participants is Masaryk University, the University of Pécs or Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University.
🎯The budget of such a joint project is €25,000-75,000, duration is 12-18 months.
🎯Applications are accepted until January 27, 2025.
