HUM:Global Seed Money

Call for applications for activities planned for the academic year 2025/2026

All staff and students at the Faculties of Humanities, University of Copenhagen are invited to submit applications for HUM:Global Seed Money.

HUM:Global Seed Money offers

HUM:Global Seed Money offers seed money grants of between 10,000 DKK and 35,000 DKK for activities in the areas of:

  • research
  • teaching
  • student-led initiatives
  • stakeholder/public/policy engagement

e.g., guest lectures, teaching, workshops, symposiums, creative events, seminars in connection with writing applications for external funding etc.

The activities should fall within HUM:Global’s areas of interest, namely global themes and approaches that allow us to break with ideological, spatial, temporal and scientific barriers and biases. Though not a requirement, proposals that involve diverse global partners (i.e., beyond Europe and the Global North), non-academic collaborators, and which operate across disciplinary and institutional boundaries at the Faculties of Humanities are encouraged.

Planned activities should take place within the academic year 2025/2026.
