Trilateral Seed Funding Program 2025

Initiated by the Oxford - Berlin Research Alliance to promote research in the field of digitalization, the Seedfunding program enables teams consisting of researchers from TU Berlin (TUB), the University of Oxford (UoO) and Siemens AG (SAG) to pursue promising ideas to apply for research funding.

In a first phase from 1 December 2024 to 7 April 2025, researchers from Siemens AG, the University of Oxford and TU Berlin are invited to submit their ideas for trilateral seed projects for EU-funded research (Horizon). In a subsequent selection phase, the organizing committee from Siemens, Oxford and Siemens RIE Berlin will select up to 30 project ideas based on a criteria matrix.

The funding will be divided equally between the teams to enable them to work on the topic in greater depth and apply for EU Horizon Calls.
