YAG Interdisciplinary Projects incentive fund

The YAG firmly believes in the importance of interdisciplinary research to be able to  respond to the challenges of our complex world. Diversity of disciplines will boost  research and education.

As such the YAG observed that there were no low threshold funds available for exploratory, interdisciplinary research, education, or impact creation at the RUG (or external). Based on its successful experiences with interdisciplinary projects, the YAG therefore proposed an initiative to the UG executive board and the College of Deans to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration between employees of different faculties through so-called ‘Interdisciplinary seed grants’.

The YAG funds was establisehd in 2023 and since then been added to the UG palate of instruments for developing interdisciplinary research projects.

More information for UG staff will be made available online soon.
