Apply for the YERUN Research Mobility Awards 2024/2025
The YERUN Research Mobility Awards (YRMA) return with a refreshed approach for the 2024-2025 edition, offering opportunities for impactful research collaborations across the YERUN network.
Whether you’re an early-career or mid-career researcher, these awards are designed to support innovative and interdisciplinary partnerships.
What’s new in 2024-2025?
This year’s edition introduces three major updates that reflect our commitment to fostering deeper and more collaborative research experiences:
- To encourage more dynamic and cooperative research, the YRMAs now require group proposals. Each application must include at least two researchers from different YERUN member universities, promoting stronger cross-institutional partnerships.
- There will be 10 awards, each worth €4,000. This increase allows for more meaningful support, enabling larger and more ambitious projects.
- The awards are now open to not only early-career researchers but also mid-career researchers, as defined by the Euraxess Research Profiles. This provides more experienced researchers the chance to engage in new collaborations while sharing their expertise.
How to apply
- Form a collaboration with at least one other researcher from a different YERUN member university.
Submit your proposal through the online application platform by 30 November 2024 (23:59 CEST).
IMPORTANT: YERUN invites researchers to use the Connect by YERUN platform to network and find potential collaborators across the YERUN member universities. Simply sign in with your ORCID account to start connecting with other researchers.

- Forge new research collaborations across Europe
- Engage in interdisciplinary and cross-sector projects
