This Seed Grant encourages innovative research initiatives that transcend disciplinary boundaries and address critical societal issues through which we bring the outside world in. Seed Grants range from €15k-€40k and can be spent on bringing together UvA-scholars from at least two different faculties to start, for example, innovative research projects or work on grant proposal preparations. Seed Grants contribute to UvA’s strategic objective of inspiring generations through interdisciplinary research. Submit your proposal no later than 23 May 2024, at 11.00h CET.

This call is open to all tenure-track, assistant, associate, and full professors, as well as professors by special appointment at the University of Amsterdam. We invite passionate researchers to propose projects that align with one of the four IP Themes.

This call for Seed Grants is open to any thematic proposals that fit within the broad theme of Responsible Digital Transformations. Yet, the steering group encourages researchers to submit proposals on topics that have been identified as strategic priorities for the near future, including Creativity & Generative AI; the Future of Work & Economy; Digital Transformation & Security; and Ethics, Regulation & Digitization. Applications need to explain how the work fits with the broad aims of RDT. New collaborations that have not previously been honored are preferred.
