2024 Calls - update July 2024
Procedure to leverage joint research activities 2024
EU GREEN has established a yearly joint procedure for proposals to stimulate research collaboration among our 9 universities. Researchers from EU GREEN partner universities can submit proposals for seed funding. This procedure, implemented by the Work Package Research (WP3), is intended to leverage cooperation between researchers and create new or consolidate existing scientific relationships. Its vision is to build robust scientific communities among the EU GREEN universities.
There are 3 pillars for the 2024 call:
- Incentive for collaborative research activities, up to 20,000€
- Researcher mobility program, up to 2000€ per mobility per person
- EU GREEN Scientific conferences, up to 10,000€
When applying, you will choose one of the pillars and will have a dedicated application form.

EU GREEN specific Doctoral allowance - update to come September 2024
In addition to the European Commission call, the university of Angers raised complementary funds through the ANR (French National Agency of Research Support) within the France 2030 program. This allows a co-funding for this PhD funding, and to develop collaboration between our universities.
In 2024, the equivalent of four doctoral contracts full time (8 half-thesis) will be financed by the University of Angers (UA). The projects shall be codirection theses between UAand at least one partner from EU GREEN (in case of co-tutelle, UA will only finance the part of the PhD spend in UA). The theses’ topics must belong to the scope of at least one of the 6 EU GREEN clusters.

At least three partners (meaning EU GREEN universities) should be involved
[MOBILITY] Should it be included in a project that foresees more than one visit or can it also fund a single visit of a researcher to another EU GREEN University?
