Get Involved as a Researcher

Una Europa offers academics a suite of opportunities to facilitate collaboration in education, research and non-academic partners.

Our alliance is founded on long-standing collaboration and strong connections across various initiatives and stakeholders. By consolidating and expanding the virtual inter-university campus and by providing mobility opportunities, we can create a more effective and collaborative research community that will benefit all European researchers. We currently focus on six multi-disciplinary academic areas: 

One Health

Sustainability

Future Materials and Technologies

Cultural Heritage

Europa and the World

Data Science & AI 

Una Opportunities for Researchers

Una Europa launches an annual call for applications for seed funding. The aim of the seed funding initiative is to support the initiation of long-term collaborative activities between the partner universities. The idea is to "plant a seed" that can eventually attract external funding.

University of Helsinki has been coordinating several projects, that have been supported by the Una Europa Seed Funding: 

Linguistic variation in postcolonial contexts (LiVaPoCo)

One Health as an emerging focus area for Una Europa (UNA-OH)

The role of academia in transition to sustainable food systems (INSTIL)

Toppling Statues: Public Spaces, Colonial Heritage, and Identities in Europe (EuroStatues)

The Toolkit is designed to assist researchers at any career stage who want to learn more about citizen science initiatives. With insights from 8 citizen science experts from Una Europa partner universities, the Toolkit offers a range of perspectives and expertise on various aspects of citizen science, from project design and funding to citizen engagement, and even long-term sustainability.
