Dear partners,
In July 2024, the European Reform University Alliance (ERUA) announced a call for applications for the formation of interdisciplinary research clusters (https://erua-eui.eu/2024/07/03/call-for-applications-by-10-october-2024-formation-of-research-clusters/). This initiative aims to foster collaborative, cross-disciplinary research across the ERUA network and beyond, encouraging innovative approaches and diverse perspectives in tackling complex global challenges. The deadline for applications is 10 October 2024.
To support this initiative, we are pleased to invite you to our Info Day event. This event is designed to present the initiative, explain the requirements for the application, answer any questions you may have, encourage participation in the creation of these dynamic research clusters thus increasing the visibility and impact of the initiative within the ERUA community.
