Grants Week 2022

Grants Week 2022

The second annual edition of the University's SEA-EU Grants Week was organised by RSSD, MCST, SEA-EU, and COST CNC CSO. This Grants Week 2022 built on the success of the previous annual event, and aimed to boost active participation in international funding programmes and provide networking and collaborative opportunities with researchers from the SEA-EU network. This was done in the spirit of the UM's vision and mission to strengthen the quality of its research output through a high-calibre academic community and the provision of an enhanced research infrastructure.
