Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University continues to confirm its high level as a research institution of international scale.

Our university is an active participant in the EDUC-WIDE consortium, which includes leading universities in Europe: Masaryk University (Czech Republic), University of Pécs (Hungary), University of Cagliari (Italy), Jaime I University (Spain), University of Potsdam (Germany), University of Southern Norway (Norway), University of Paris Nanterre (France) and University of Rennes (France).

One of the objectives of the project is to establish direct interactions between EDUC partners and promote the effective use of research infrastructure within the consortium. The implementation of this task involved conducting a competitive selection of scientific projects of researchers and postgraduates from partner universities in order to provide them with access to the infrastructure resources necessary for carrying out scientific and research work (https://nauka.pnu.edu.ua/2024/09/10/oholosheno-konkurs-na-podachu-proiektiv-iz-zapytom-na-dostup-do-doslidnytskykh-infrastruktur-universytetiv-krain-educ/).

As part of the EDUC-WIDE project, which the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University is implementing together with Masaryk University (Czech Republic), University of Cagliari (Italy), Jaime I University of Castellón (Spain), University of Potsdam (Germany), University of Southern Norway (Norway), University of Pécs (Hungary), University of Paris Nanterre (France) and University of Rennes (France), a competition has been announced for the implementation of joint research projects (Seed Projects).

📌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.
The strategic research and development areas of the EDUC alliance are health and well-being throughout life, culture and heritage, equity, inequality and inclusion, mobility/smart cities, research related to the activities of the European Union, climate and resources, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, economics and business, materials science, biochemistry and molecular biology, behavioral/neurological research.

📌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.
