Support for cross-cutting research projects
Starting in 2026, Circus will be part of Uppsala University Future Institutes. In this years´s call, UUniFI is conducting a joint call. This means that the call is open for project ideas within six thematic areas associated with UUniFI institutes:
- Multi- and interdisciplinarity (Circus)
- Artificial Intelligence
- Green energy transition
- Precision health
- Migration
- Goal conflicts within sustainability transformations
The main purpose of the support is to provide favourable conditions for the development of new cross-cutting research projects at Uppsala University and for competitive grant applications.
The support includes funding for up to 3 researchers to write applications to research funding bodies (both national and international), administrative support from staff at UUniFI and a mandatory seminar series where project ideas and drafts are discussed and developed during Autumn 2026 and January 2027.
