New IN.TUNE Call for Student-Led Projects 2026 is open: connect, create, collaborate

Back

Have an idea that could improve student life, learning, or career preparation at your institution and across Europe? Need support to get it off the ground? The second edition of IN.TUNE Call for Student-Led Projects is now open, offering funding to help you develop your idea together with fellow students from other IN.TUNE partner institutions. This call is part of the alliance’s efforts to boost mobility and cross-border collaboration, and is one of the activities under the incentives developed within the IN.TUNE Mobility Framework. If you’re ready to connect, create, and collaborate across borders, this one’s for you. 

The IN.TUNE Call for Student-Led Projects (2nd edition, 2026) invites students to develop innovative, student-driven projects that address gaps in professional experience or student communities, locally and across the alliance.

What kinds of projects are we looking for?

Your project should be relevant to students across IN.TUNE and contribute to one (or more) of these aims:

  • Strengthening collaboration between students across IN.TUNE institutions 
  • Testing new and creative ways of using digital tools for learning and collaboration 
  • Helping students prepare for future careers 
  • Creating learning opportunities you feel are missing from your programme today

Who can apply (and the key eligibility requirement)

The call is open to students enrolled in 2025/2026 or 2026/2027 at any study cycle in one of the eight IN.TUNE partner institutions. To be eligible, your proposal must include at least one project partner who is a fellow student from another IN.TUNE alliance institution.

Funding and support

You can apply for up to EUR 2,500 to cover costs such as materials, promotion, travel, mentors/advisors, production, or renting premises.
