MISTI Global Seed Funds

Date added: 2022-09-29

MISTI Global Seed Funds, of which MIT-Poland is a part, enable participating teams to collaborate with international peers, either at MIT or abroad, with the aim of developing and launching joint research projects. All general MISTI Global Seed Funds criteria, application and evaluation procedures apply. Through an annual call for proposals, the fund promotes the exchange between faculty and students at MIT and at universities and public research institutions in Poland. The maximum award is $25,000.

Applications are now open at https://misti.mit.edu/faculty-funds/apply-funding and are due on December 13, 2022!

Researchers of ALL disciplines can apply!

Although the Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMC) sponsors this program through a generous gift to MIT, it is the independent Selection Board, made up of MIT faculty, that decides which collaborations win the awards. We welcome and support applications from all disciplines, with a preference for those within this year’s priority areas, listed below.
