The call opened last December and the deadline for applications was 15 January 2015. This initiative aims to finance the best joint projects conducted by research groups from the three universities that form the ACM Campus of International Excellence: Deusto, Comillas and Ramon Llull.
Funding was granted to 8 projects that cover very diverse specialist areas: from sustainability and corporate social responsibility to health, sport and technology. The total budget for this call is 82,000 € with a maximum of 15.000€ per project.
The following projects were awarded funding:
