March 2023: Gender Enhancement Fund Call for Applications 2023
The Call for applications to the Gender Equality Enhancement Fund has been announced. A fund of €250k is available with a maximum of €50k awarded to successful application. We have been successful in securing over €75k (2 awards) as lead partners through this funding call so it would be great to see UL lead a major project again in this round. All funding proposals require a minimum of three external institution partners. Each institution is only permitted to lead on one proposal so as in the past an internal review panel will assess which proposal will be progressed as the UL led application. The closing date for internal applications is Friday 21st .
