Charles University will, for the second time, support up to 10 projects through so-called student mini-grants, seed funding for teams from the 4EU+ universities. This scheme aims to encourage students and young researchers from all around the 4EU+ Alliance to collaborate without the limitation of their fields, faculties, or universities. The projects can focus on initiating international research collaboration, organizing joint educational activities (workshops, soft skill courses, etc.) and developing socio-cultural collaboration and strengthening the third role of the university (active involvement in the social discourse and search for solutions to global economic, social and environmental issues).
The state of the contemporary world, resulting from the covid-19 pandemic and the war in progress in the EU’s eastern neighbourhood, calls for action from everyone who has the power to overlook the contextual framework. We strongly believe that students can contribute to that as they are future of university and academia.
Since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, students of the 4EU+ Alliance have proven to be valuable members of society. They immediately started volunteering and helping to mitigate the consequences of the health crisis. Many of our students have also been able to promptly respond and coordinate help and assistance to the migration wave of Ukrainian refugees.
We would like to encourage you, our students, to share your experience, get to know each other, share your ideas and create a safe and strong community that would efficiently face the challenges of the unknown future.
