Funding Opportunities

There are two main sources of funding available within the York-Maastricht Partnership.

York-Maastricht Travel and Workshop Fund

There are also smaller funding pots available on a rolling basis for staff at both universities to facilitate collaboration. These are:

  • a travel fund of up to €500 to support visits to each University and cover economy travel, accommodation and subsistence costs
  • a workshop fund of up to €5,000 to support collaborative events between groups of staff or students at each University that further the Partnership’s research and/or educational initiatives. This might include research workshops, seminars, project planning and longer visits.

Each University has a devolved budget to cover these activities.
