The Utrecht Centre for Global Challenges started an initiative this academic year to encourage students' engagement on global challenges. After a successful first round of events, we are happy to announce a second round of applications. Student groups and associations are welcome to apply for grants up to €1.000 per event to hold public events addressing global issues. These can address different topics, from sustainability to conflict or human rights! We encourage (groups of) students to apply!  

What to submit:
●    The event concept and objectives
●    When the event would take place (must be before June 30th)
●    How the event will be open to the broader UU community
●    How the event relates to Global Challenges
●    Expected impact and engagement
●    Estimated use of funds (can be approximate)

Submit your proposal before 25 April 2025. The top proposal(s) will be awarded a grant to realize their ideas.
