Up to €5,000 for Student-Led ERUA Projects: Apply by 19 October

Students from the University of Macerata are invited to take part in the Fourth ERUA Bottom-Up Project Call for Students, an initiative that supports collaborative projects designed and developed by students across the European Reform University Alliance (ERUA).

The call is open to teams composed of students from at least two ERUA member universities, who can apply for funding of up to €5,000 to implement a joint project lasting up to six months. Selected projects are expected to start between November 2026 and January 2027.

The Bottom-Up Project Call encourages students to collaborate across borders, develop innovative ideas and actively contribute to the ERUA community through initiatives that reflect the Alliance's values of cooperation, inclusion and academic engagement.

The deadline for submitting proposals is 19 October 2026.

To help interested students prepare their applications, ERUA will organise two online information sessions via Zoom:

• 27 July 2026, 16:00 CEST
• 22 September 2026, 16:00 CEST

A recording of the sessions will also be made available on the ERUA collaboration board.

For the full call, eligibility criteria, application guidelines and the Zoom link for the information sessions, please visit the official ERUA webpage.
