Call for Project Proposals – “From Knowledge to Action” Initiative 2025–2027

The AE Budapest Hub and AE Class C are pleased to announce the Call for Project Proposals under the "From Knowledge to Action" initiative, approved for the 2025–2027 cycle. This program, coordinated by the AE Budapest Knowledge Hub and CLASS C, is designed to amplify the societal and policy impact of science across Europe.

The initiative focuses on three strategic missions:

1. From Science to Society – Turning scientific discoveries into tangible societal benefits
2. From Curiosity to Career – Creating career development models for young researchers
3. From Barriers to Bridges – Supporting projects that connect countries and disciplines, particularly those involving underrepresented regions of Europe or fostering interdisciplinary collaborations

All Classes and Sections of Academia Europaea are invited to submit proposals. It is expected that every Section will contribute at least one project, ensuring a truly pan-European, multidisciplinary effort.

Submission Details:

• Deadline: 31 May 2025
• Email for submissions: aebudapest [at] office [dot] mta [dot] hu
• Evaluation: Submitted projects will be reviewed and selected by a dedicated committee composed of AE Class Chairs and Section Chairs

Each project must involve:

• A young investigator (PhD student or postdoc), and
• A senior AE member as mentor and project lead

Selected projects will receive:

• €1,500 funding per project (granted upon successful publication)
• Professional coordination through monthly progress meetings
• Support for dissemination and high-impact journal submission

Please find the SUMMARY & GUIDELINES here. The official Application Form and a Sample Proposal for guidance are available to download.
This is a unique opportunity to demonstrate how Academia Europaea transforms knowledge into action, by fostering collaboration, mentoring future scientists, and tackling real-world challenges across nations and disciplines.
