EUPeace Call: Initiatives to Foster Diversity and Inclusion

The EUPeace Alliance has launched a new call for project initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion across academic, social, and intercultural settings. In line with the Strategic Plan for Inclusive Campuses, this call is open to students, academics, doctoral candidates, and university staff across all EUPeace partner institutions, including UWB.

What is the Call About?

The goal is to fund new initiatives or scale up existing projects that cultivate an inclusive campus environment. Eligible activities and formats include (but are not limited to):

  • Inclusive teaching & curriculum innovation (accessible course design, hybrid teaching methods, inclusive assessment).

  • Equity and diversity strategies (anti-racism, gender equality, inclusive leadership).

  • Student success & well-being (widening participation, support for refugee/migrant students, peer-mentoring, mental health).

  • Intercultural dialogue & peace education.

  • Awareness campaigns, series of workshops, podcasts/videos, or campus tools.

Note: Pure research activities are not eligible due to Erasmus+ regulations. Collaborative proposals involving multiple EUPeace partner universities will be prioritized.
