Open Calls

Gratama Anniversary Gift 2025

Today’s complex societal challenges rarely, if ever, exactly fit into the framework of one single area of expertise or one single specialism. It is, therefore, of great importance that academics, in consultation with one another, look beyond the borders of their own domain and discipline when looking for the solutions to these challenges.
In order to stimulate this and to celebrate their 100-year anniversary, the Gratama Foundation has made a grant available of €100,000 through the GUF: the Gratama Anniversary Gift 2025.
The grant is intended for an interdisciplinary project that aligns with the main faculty and University research themes.
Deadline: 1 September 2024
