U21 utlyser medel för gemensamma projekt för doktorander, Graduate Collaborative Research Awards. Dessa projekt syftar till att skapa hållbara tvärvetenskapliga relationer mellan doktorander och forskargrupper inom U21-nätverket. Projektens resultat förväntas göras tillgängliga för allmänheten. Projektgrupperna måste ha minst tre U21-medlemmar från minst två länder.
Sju projekt fick finansiering 2016. Ansökan för 2018 (avser perioden 2017-11-01 – 2018-11-01) är öppen 26 maj – 1 augusti 2017.
The application call for the 2017 Graduate Collaborative Research Awards is now open, with deadline 1 August. This is the new name for the Graduate Research Projects which were piloted in 2016. These research awards enable doctoral candidates to develop and implement international research collaborations within the U21 network. The awards are very flexible and we encourage doctoral candidates, with the support of their supervisors/advisors, to think innovatively about how their research could benefit from engagement with other members of the U21 network. Applications must include doctoral candidates from at least three different U21 member institutions, from at least two different countries to be eligible.

U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems 2017
The Universitas 21 Ranking is the only one in the world to assess national higher education systems, and meets a long-standing need to shift discussion from the ranking of the world’s best universities, to the best overall systems in each country. The first Ranking report was published in May 2012 and this is the fourth year of reporting. The 2017 report includes the same 50 countries as in the 2016 report, which have again been ranked separately in four areas (Resources, Environment, Connectivity and Output) and overall. Sweden is ranked 5th on the overall results summary. The research authors are based at the University of Melbourne.

Citat från tidigare deltagare “I can whole-hardheartedly recommend taking part in 3MT! It was a fantastic opportunity to engage with the public - I was honestly surprised by the curiosity and excitement people had for my science, and it gave me a real boost of motivation to keep working on it. And what is more - it was great to meet the other participants, which came from many different faculties at Lund University, and share this exciting experience with them.” Anna Stöckl, 2015
