YUFE Research Relay 2.0 is officially underway, and we are excited to invite you to apply and join this new edition of our collaborative journey into Horizon Europe.
🗓️ Registration is open until 26 January, 23:59 CET.
We are excited to announce the second edition of YUFE Research Relay, a dynamic two-phase event designed to help researchers from across the YUFE Alliance collaboratively craft exceptional proposals for Horizon Europe funding. This event builds upon insights gathered from an internal survey, which showed strong interest from over 600 researchers across YUFE universities. Like runners passing a baton in a relay race, researchers will build on each other’s strengths, knowledge, and creativity to produce competitive proposals for Clusters 1,3 and 5 of Horizon Europe.
What to expect from Research Relay 2.0
- 🤝 Collaboration in international, interdisciplinary teams
- 💻 Biweekly online training and group work
- 🧠 Development of a Horizon Europe concept note
- 🌍 And for a selected group, participation in the Summer School in Madrid
80 applicants will take part in the online phase, with up to 30 participants joining the on-site Summer School.
