This fund is meant for any activity that promotes diversity and inclusivity within UM. You can request up to €15,000 euros for this grant.

If you want to apply for the grants of the Diversity and Inclusivity Office, you do not need to be officially registered. However, your organisation does need to concern student and staff collaboration.

There are certain criteria for the grant:

• Funding shall only be granted for new activities or clear extensions of existing activities in alignment with the purpose and in conformity with the funding criteria.
• Teams should be diverse, student/staff cooperation is mandatory. Interfaculty collaboration is preferred, just as collaboration with external partners.
• The maximum duration of the proposed project/activity is 12 months from the date as specified in the award (the ‘funding period’).
• Only one proposal per person can be submitted.

Proposals will be selected on the basis of the following criteria:

• Relation to one or more of the four core areas of UM’s D&I Strategy
• Plan of execution (including budget estimate)
• Relation to and added value for existing UM activities/taskforces
