1 March, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Get to know U Change and success factors for funding applications
Event description
Do you want to get engaged with sustainability, already know what needs to be done, but lack funding to get started? Or do you have a concrete project on sustainability and are looking for funding to make it a success? The U Change funding programm for student initiatives for sustainable development can help finance your project! Each funded student project receives up to CHF 10,000. The next application deadline is 30th April 2022. Here you find all information about the current call.
Programme
In the first part of the workshop, you’ll get the chance to learn more about U Change and how the funding programme works. The second part focuses on student projects which have been funded in the past. You’ll get the chance to get to know a few projects and learn about factors that have convinced U Change to fund them. This might be inspirational for your own project application. Finally, in the third part, you’ll have time to ask any questions you might have about U Change in general and about the funding application process in particular.
