Tϋbingen - Durham Seedcorn Competition - 2020

Building on their collaborations through the Matariki Network, Durham and Tϋbingen Universities have established a seedcorn fund to support joint research. Through a competitive process, Durham and Tϋbingen Universities jointly advertise, select and fund research projects up to the value €25,000. In addition to strengtheninging the longstanding ties between Tϋbingen and Durham and the broadening of the existing partnership, it is expected that successful research projects will result in third-party funding applications.
