The Digitalisation Incubators are your collaborative sandboxes—spaces where students, academics, technical and administrative staff unite to find creative digital solutions that power efficient, sustainable, and inclusive change. With this call, we’re looking for inspiring projects that:
- prototype or pilot digital tools, platforms, or infrastructure services for use across several EUTOPIA partner universities.
- tackle challenges in digital education, research, administration, or student/staff services.
- strengthen EUTOPIA’s shared digital infrastructure, interoperability, and user experience.
- foster a spirit of connectedness, enabling our institutions to transform together.
We are open to all ideas and innovative digital solutions in the areas of education, research and administration. Some of the key areas that EUTOPIA has been focusing on include:
- E-Teaching and E-Learning,
- Student Mobility Dream of making student exchanges easier and more digital,
- Community Tools, and Services,
- Open Science Tools,
- any other digital projects.
If selected, you and your team will collaborate with a supportive review board and like-minded peers across Europe, receive financial backing for meetings, mobility, and software subscriptions and (where applicable) additional staff time, get expert feedback and visibility for your work via EUTOPIA platforms and newsletters, see your ideas move from concept to working prototype—and maybe even full-scale roll-out across the alliance.
More about the call for project proposals is available in the document (in English).
Informative meeting about goals of this call for proposals and technical aspects of the application will be on Friday 7 November at 11 am CET on ZOOM (link is available here).
