With a view to fostering research collaborations between members of the YUFE Alliance, USN is launching its first scientific collaboration call which aims to:

• Provide seed-funding in order to encourage scientific cooperation between USN and the nine partner universities of the YUFE Alliance.
• Offer USN’s scientific community the opportunity to strengthen and broaden its engagement with YUFE partners through out-of-the-box research projects that do not necessarily fit into customary calls for proposals.
• Enhance USN’s research profile, both internationally and in Europe.

The call is open to researchers and academics (designated Principal Investigator/PI) who hold a PhD and are affiliated to Sorbonne Nouvelle University. The project must involve at least one YUFE member university, in addition to USN. Projects involving more than one YUFE member university are encouraged.
This call is open to all research themes and academic disciplines in which research is conducted at Sorbonne Nouvelle University.

Please see the document below entitled ‘Seed-call for “USN-YUFE” scientific collaborations 2025’ for full details.
