Open call - Activities to be funded
Call dates : 30/06/2025 - 31/05/206
-
Use of Equipment/Infrastructure: Academic staff can use resources available at other UNITA institutions either face-to-face or remotely.
-
Collaborative dimensions must be integrated into the proposed activities. Projects that promote mobility will be prioritized, including activities such as technique introductions, job shadowing, scientific and technical discussions to establish collaborations, etc. The option to send samples without physical mobility can also be considered. Priority will be given to application with on-site mobility.
-
Scientific and Technical training: Training dedicated to the use of specific resources, known as "Scientific and technical job shadowing."
-
Priority will be given to projects connected to the HUBs.

Initiated Under the Re-UNITA Project
The UNITA Research Infrastructure Database was initiated under the Re-UNITA project (funded by H2020-SWAFS). Through this initiative, our universities have chosen to pool their research equipment into a shared, accessible database, allowing researchers across different institutions to make the most of the equipment and platforms available.
Beyond facilitating access to equipment that may not be available in every laboratory, this initiative also promotes new collaborative approaches between our partner institutions, fostering an environment of innovation and cross-disciplinary research.
