The Unite! Seed Fund aims to achieve the maximum potential of Unite! It is envisioned to provide financial support to innovate, co-creative and collaborative ideas from teachers, researchers and students across the Unite! alliance. The Seed Fund intends to support exploration and development of attractive and diverse activities and projects, to help secure either additional funds for a project or to carry out joint, ambitious and innovative ideas within the alliance.
