Arqus launches a self-funded call for research collaboration

The Alliance launches a self-funded call to fund research collaborations between Arqus academics and early-career researchers.

The Arqus Research Initiative aims to support the initiation of long-term collaborative research activities among the partners of the Arqus Alliance. The call is open to all academic disciplines and has a strong focus on the engagement of early-career researchers (ESR). The application deadline is 23 May 2025.

While proposals should align with the three Arqus research topics (Climate change and environmental sustainability, Artificial intelligence and digital transformation, European identity and heritage), we encourage ideas that can grow into larger collaborations across scientific domains.

The call is open to all kinds of collaborative research activities leading to the overall aim of promoting long-term collaboration.

The Arqus Research Initiative provides financial support for initiatives or projects involving a minimum of three institutions within the Alliance (including associated partners). The participation of early-career researchers in each participating partner university is strongly recommended. In addition, the creation of interdisciplinary research teams is encouraged.
