The Vice-Rectorate for Research of the University calls for II Internal Competition for Interdisciplinary Research Projects on Structural Problems in Argentina (2025). The call for proposals opens on Friday, July 4th, and the deadline for submitting projects is Friday, September 1st. The funds available for this call amount to 40.000 USD (forty thousand dollars).

They may submit their applications under this modality. “Interdisciplinary Research Projects on Structural Problems in Argentina”These are interdisciplinary and interfaculty research projects that seek to understand and contribute solutions to the main structural problems of the Argentine reality. Structural problems are characterized by requiring the intervention of several disciplines to solve them and affecting a variety of stakeholder groups. While solutions to these problems are of crucial importance, they are not readily available.

This call for proposals uses a set of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations as the criteria for defining the aforementioned structural problems. The selected SDGs are related to the main challenges for Argentina in the coming years: 1) No poverty and zero hunger; 2) Quality education; 3) Reduced inequalities; 4) Peace, justice and strong institutions; 5) Industry, innovation and infrastructure; 6) Good health and well-being.

The projects submitted must, in turn, be framed within at least three Areas of knowledge, according to the Unesco Classification of Areas of Science and Technology (Annex 1 of the bases).

The application form must be submitted through SIGEVA - Austral (using the "Submission/Application User" role). For any questions or inquiries, please write to investigacion@austral.edu.ar

The HUC Seed Fund is an initiative of the Hemispheric University Consortium (HUC), which brings together universities from Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, and the United States. This consortium aims to facilitate collaborations in education, research, and innovation, generating knowledge and solutions to address regional and global challenges.

In a context where scientific and social problems are increasingly complex, this fund supports innovative projects that address issues of social, economic, and scientific relevance. Furthermore, it promotes interdisciplinary research and the active participation of students, contributing to the development of research skills and, most importantly, to securing additional funding.
