This funding targets small-scale, time-limited, bottom-up projects, designed to kick-start collaborative activities aligned with ENGAGE.EU’s mission—particularly those that empower early-stage researchers.

This seed funding initiative is part of the ENGAGE.EU Research Label, created to spark bottom-up research collaborations within the alliance. Read more about the Research Label HERE.
