EDI Funding Opportunities

We have concluded the MAPS EDI Funding Call “Take bold action for inclusion.” The aim is to provide support to EDI initiatives that focus on developing or strengthening inclusive environments.

The MAPS EDI Strategic Plan for 2023 - 2027 aims to improve our study, research, teaching, and overall work environments, such that every student and staff member in the faculty can develop a sense of belonging and feel encouraged and supported to develop their full potential.
