Collaboration networks with MIT under the Seed Fund program

This funding is part of the MISTI Global Seed Funds. The MIT-UCLouvain Seed Fund supports exchanges of researchers, faculty and research students between the two institutions. The agreement covers all MIT faculties and all UCLouvain Sectors. Specifically, the agreement enables teams comprising, for example, a UCLouvain faculty member and an MIT colleague to submit a proposed research project (the partners from both institutions must be identified in the proposal). The projects selected receive a Seed Fund grant intended to fund the exchange of faculty or students on both sides of the Atlantic. Seed Fund applications must be made jointly by the partners from both institutions and are submitted online on the MISTI Global Seed Funds website (usual closing date in September).

Moreover, UCLouvain and MIT have also an agreement to support exchanges of students during summer. Brochure
