This past summer, @SummerUNIGE welcomed 40 participants from across the @4EUplusAlliance for an inspiring Summer School on Microplastics.

For programme director Prof. @ecotox_UniGe , the project’s success lies not only in the positive feedback from students, but also in the transformative impact of SEED4EU+: enabling academics to work across disciplines, experiment with new teaching methods, and bring their research and careers to an international level.

💡 Do you have a project idea, or want to join a team in your field? The SEED4EU+ call for projects is still open until 3 October 2025!

· Up to €50,000 funding
· Max. 12 months
· Collaborate with colleagues from 8 European universities

👉 Don’t miss the chance to turn your idea into impact! https://t.co/UMeRvd0hVQ
