New call for Applications: Funding for Collaboration with EPICUR Partners

The aim of this call is to support:

• Delegation visits to EPICUR partners to establish and strengthen connections and collaboration within EPICUR.
• Development of integrated EPICUR learning activities

What is EPICUR?

EPICUR is a European university alliance uniting nine institutions to promote cross-border education, innovation, and knowledge sharing. The alliance focuses on creating new, flexible, intercultural teaching formats that allow students to participate in courses across partner universities.

What can be funded?

• Delegation Visits to EPICUR partners: visits focusing on establishing connection with EPICUR partners with the aim to develop collaboration within teaching and / or research.
• Integrated EPICUR Learning Experiences:Joint teaching and/or learning activities (e.g., online exercises, projects, fieldwork, guest lectures) integrated in courses offered by minimum two EPICUR partners. The joint activities should ideally be co-developed and co-taught or co-facilitated by the course teachers at the participating universities. Each participating university will offer its own course but certain elements in that course are joint.
• Integrated EPICUR Courses:Joint courses that are integrated into study programmes at minimum two EPICUR universities. These courses are collaboratively developed and co-taught. Please note, if the course is open to students from other EPICUR partners beyond those developing it, it must carry a minimum of 3 ECTS.

Funding Overview

Up to 50.000 DKK.

Examples of previously funded projects

Triple Degree: The MOISEL study programme at SDU is collaborating with the University of Strasbourg and Adam Mickiewicz University to establish a triple degree. A cohort of 15 students will complete their master’s studies across all three universities.

Experts in Team Innovation: In this mandatory course, at the Faculty of Engineering students are offered two ways to gain an EPICUR learning experience.

• Students can select an EPICUR Track, where part of the course is carried out in collaboration with peers from the University of Haute-Alsace through joint project work and a study trip to Mulhouse for in-person teamwork.
• Alternatively, students from other EPICUR universities can join as EPICUR Expert Students. They use their field expertise to provide feedback on SDU student projects.

Although not formally enrolled in the course, these EPICUR students collaborate with SDU students during some of the course’s duration.

Introduction to AI in Academia: The Faculty of Health Sciences has developed a 1 ECTS course that introduces mainly Health and Engineering students to the use of AI in their studies. The course is co-developed and co-taught with colleagues from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and University of Freiburg, combining live Zoom lectures with interactive group work. It has been integrated as a mandatory course into several study programmes at the Faculty of Health.
