UT and University of Waterloo establish joint grant to boost collaboration

The newly formed ‘Twente and Waterloo Strategic Collaboration Grants (SCG)’ have been issued between the University of Twente and the University of Waterloo in Canada. The call aims to catalyze collaborative research work between respective members in priority areas (bioengineering and biotechnology, health, nanotechnology, and water) identified. This call is aimed both at those who are looking to initiate research collaboration, as well as those who want to further advance existing research collaboration.

Open for application

 It is anticipated that four awards will be made. Each award will be co-funded by the two universities, with each university’s resources supporting their particular members’ involvement. The maximum value of each award will be a sum of no more than C$16,000 and €11,000 by each respective university. Complete applications are due Wednesday at 23:59h (CET) on 8 November 2023. Further details regarding the priorities, the scope, the mechanics, and the application full details are on the website.

Strong partnership

Twente and Waterloo have built, over the past decade, a strong partnership based upon shared interests in research for impact, outstanding student experience, and societal connections. This call aims to augment the two universities’ impact through increased research collaboration.
