Unusual Collaborations Grants

Unusual Collaborations grants

Unusual Collaborations grants are meant to take an idea or project further by enabling outside-the-box interdisciplinary research that is societally relevant and may aim to contribute to societal impact.

An Unusual Collaborations (UCo) grant provides funding for one year with the idea that the project will extend beyond the funding period. This may be possible by applying again for CUCo funding up to three years; applicants are also strongly encouraged to consider other pathways for continuation. 

The call for proposals for Unusual Collaborations grants 2025 will be launched in May-June 2024.
