T4EU favours projects related to the following themes: environment, inclusion and diversity; multilingualism; cooperation between universities and the cultural sector; digital transformation; transformation of society.
To facilitate this application, T4EU offers a partnership tool, where you can find and communicate with other researchers in the fields of study and themes you are working on.
