Call for Incentive Research Collaboration
Building on the success of the Aurora R&I programme, the Aurora 2030 programme has launched in the beginning of 2024 and 2025 two Calls for Incentive Research Collaboration, with the aim of fostering tangible collaborative research actions between Aurora universities to address Aurora’s values and hubs. A third call, which will include mixed teaching and research activities is expected for beginning of 2026.
The call supports three types of key actions:
Exploratory and Collaborative Research Projects
This action supports concrete exploratory research which contribute to increase knowledge in a specific field answering societal issues; developing research communities within Aurora and preparing large-scale collaborative projects.
Thematic Schools
This action supports thematic schools organized by early-stage researchers on a specific research theme for a short period of time (1 or 2 weeks).
Short-term Research Secondments for Early-stage Researchers
This action supports early-stage career researchers (Master, PhD, postdocs) to go on short term mobility in a research laboratory or unit of an Aurora 2030 full member university (up to 3 months).
