Turn Your Idea Into Real Change: EUPeace Student Challenges 2026–2027

Got an idea that could make campus life better? EUPeace is inviting student associations to apply for up to €8,000 in funding to bring it to life — and showcase it to the whole Alliance at the Campus Festival 2027.

Got an idea that could make campus life more inclusive, more connected, or simply better? Now’s your chance to make it happen. EUPeace is inviting student associations and clubs from all nine partner universities to apply for the Student Challenges Call 2026–2027 — and turn that idea into a funded, Alliance-wide project.

Why apply

This isn’t just a funding call — it’s a genuine platform for student-led change. Your project can be almost anything: a survey, a local event, a podcast, a policy paper, a film, a tool, a campaign. If it tackles a real issue on campus and gets students across borders talking to each other, it fits. And with up to €8,000 in funding per project, you have real resources to bring your idea to life, not just an idea on paper.

All funded projects are also invited to showcase their work at the EUPeace Campus Festival 2027 in Calabria — a chance to present what you’ve built to the entire Alliance community and connect with students from across Europe who care about the same things you do.

What your project should be about

To be eligible, your project needs to speak to one of this year’s two themes:

  • Building a culture of belonging for every student, regardless of background
  • Strengthening student participation and shared governance in European universities

If you’ve ever felt like something on your campus could be more welcoming, more democratic, or more connected — this is your opening to do something about it.

How to take part

You’ll need at least one partner association from another EUPeace university (more partners are even better). Before applying, reach out to your local Student Challenges coordinator, who can help you shape your idea and answer any questions along the way.

📅 Apply by 13 November 2026.

Full details on eligibility, the application process, and how to apply are available on the call page.
