On May 26, 2025, the selection results of the Arqus Innovation Fund Call 2025 were published, with which the Arqus European University Alliance aims to foster innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset, strengthen the visibility of Arqus internally and promote further staff engagement.
The aim of this seed funding is to incentivise innovative, internal bottom-up initiatives by Arqus staff and students, to inform Arqus working groups about the external funding opportunities available for the individual innovative initiatives as part of the Arqus Erasmus+ Work Plan 2022-2026 and to provide financial support for expenses that cannot be covered from other sources.
A total of 101,675.57€ have been allocated to initiatives in the Call 2025.
