Planning to apply for a collaborative project? Please fill-in this form. Usually, partners (funders) want a single project application from an institution. In such cases, to avoid multiple applications from AMU, the Grant and Collaborative Project Management (GCPM) director office centrally monitors new project applications. Therefore, the propose of this registration form is that (1) avoid multiple applications for a call if this is not needed; (2) connect AMU applicants to create synergies and submit a stronger joint project; (3) to support your proposal application through the AMU Seed Fund and finding partners from our local and international links. The GCPM office is immediately notified when you submit this form. We thank you for your cooperation!
