Dear Researchers,

The University of Coimbra is launching the 8th Edition of the Seed Projects for Interdisciplinary Research, funded by Santander Portugal Foundation.

Applications will be open from 26 October to 27 November 2026.

The call is aimed at early-career researchers, within ten years of completing their PhD, who wish to develop interdisciplinary research projects aligned with UC’s Strategic Areas, fostering scientific independence, collaboration across different fields of knowledge, and research leadership.

This edition will support five projects, one in each of UC’s Strategic Areas, with €20,000 awarded to each winning project, for a total funding of €100,000.

As in previous editions, the call encourages collaboration between researchers from different scientific fields. Each team must include researchers from at least two different research units from distinct domains at the University of Coimbra.

We encourage eligible researchers to learn more about this opportunity and consider developing an interdisciplinary proposal together with colleagues from other areas.

The 8th Edition webpage, including the call rules, application template and further information, will be available from 26 October, when the call officially opens, at:
