FUturist

The FUturist call for proposals annually supports ideas that make a direct contribution to the goals of our climate emergency declaration or our sustainability mission statement. They are problem-based and solution-oriented. They are characterized by their novelty and have a positive impact on shaping sustainable development at Freie Universität Berlin.

You can find all information about the criteria for the fifth FUturist call for proposals here - application deadline is November 30, 2025 (11:59 pm).
