UBO: Call for the creation of Research Partnerships

In 2020, and thanks to national funding from the French National Agency for Research, UBO has launched a support scheme designed to initiate collaborations within the SEA-EU alliance. The objective was to support the emergence of new cooperation between researchers from UBO with some from the 5 partner universities around the central themes of SEA-EU:

• Sustainable development, global change and resilience
• European identity and interculturality.

The 1st call (closed in August 2020) has given support to 9 projects (see project details), covering the 2 SEA-EU themes and the 4 UBO research axes, and allowing to initiate new links with the 5 partner universities. The 2nd call has added 2 new projects to the list. The third call is open until September 2021 and will support up to 10 new partnerships.
