• In Spring 2026 we award (max) two Healthy Future Education grants (max € 6500 per project).
• You can adapt an existing course to better fit the Healthy Future theme or develop a new interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary course.
• This course is part of a regular program (bachelor/master/minor/major).
• We encourage collaboration with a colleague from another faculty, allowing students from different disciplines to work together on a relevant issue, and preferably with a societal partner.
• The funding can be split between involved colleagues and/or student assistants.
• The intention is to use this budget to compensate for teaching hours, so you create time to work on your teaching innovation project and actively engage in the Healthy Future Education community.
• Include a detailed and feasible time planning based on these hours in your proposal.
• Before submitting your proposal, ensure that you have discussed the intended hours for you and possible other team members with the financial contact person of your department.
• Importantly, you need your manager(s) approval of your proposal, so that you are ensured that you can integrate the grant hours in your (teaching)hours for next academic year if the grant is approved.

• The eventual number of awarded projects is subject to the number of applications we receive and their respective quality and feasibility (see below for selection criteria).

• You are an educator or team of educators who teach a course at UvA and you are responsible for the assessment of your course.
• The main applicant holds a position at the UvA for at least 0.5 FTE, which will last (at minimum) for the duration of the project.
• The main applicant has obtained a UTQ (BKO) qualification.
• Your supervisor has granted you permission to invest work hours in this project.
• You see more potential for the education you are involved in to serve Healthy Future aims, and you want to develop your own capabilities as an educator and better align/engage with others (students, colleagues, societal stakeholders) in doing so.
• You are curious and open to rethink, renew and redesign your education and are enthusiastic about becoming part of and contribute to a co-creative Healthy Future Education community.

For inspiration on types of projects, you can check the SIG Healthy Future site and browse the list of Fair, Resilient & Inclusive Societies (FRIS) grant projects which received funding in the past years: FRIS projects - UvA Teaching and Learning Centres (TLC).
