Funding opportunity coming from the IMPETUS project: https://impetus4cs.eu/opencall/
The IMPETUS project has launched its first call on for funding CS projects. They are looking for innovative and creative projects, focusing on the topics of Healthy Planet and Cities for Life. The first time a project has offered funding, mentoring, and training resources to citizen science projects that are aiming to tackle the societal challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals and the Green Deal.
The first part of this call is for the Accelerator Program: IMPETUS is looking for new or ongoing citizen science projects to be awarded either kickstarting or sustaining grants. Successful applicants will receive €20,000 (for new projects) or €10,000 (for ongoing projects) to help deliver a six-month citizen science project with the help of IMPETUS. All teams will have access to a set of services tailored to their individual needs that include intensive training, online mentoring, promotion, peer learning and networking.
This is also the debut of the new European Union Prize for Citizen Science, which is looking to award outstanding citizen science initiatives. With a Grand Prize of 60,000€, as well as two additional prizes to projects demonstrating exemplary Diversity & Collaboration and Digital Communities, which will both be awarded 20,000€.
