Cross-Border Education Grant
The Cross-Border Education Grant is an instrument of the University of Basel for the promotion of innovative bi- and multinational courses at Master/Doctorate level within Eucor - The European Campus. Lecturers of the University of Basel can apply together with colleagues from the Eucor partner universities. The application window opens at the beginning of March and closes in mid-April. The winners will be notified at the end of April. Members of Groupings I, II and III of the University of Basel will receive an invitation to the call with the exact dates and the link to the electronic application form by e-mail.
As Eucor has been associated with the European University Alliance EPICUR - European Partnership for an Innovative Campus Unifying Regions since 2022, lecturers from EPICUR universities - in addition to lecturers from the University of Basel and at least one Eucor university - can also be co-applicants. We are happy to assist with matchmaking on request.

The grant was awarded for the ninth time in 2026. Seventeen projects from six faculties and one university institute received the 2026 Cross-Border Education Grant. Six of these projects stand out for their particularly innovative teaching formats and will be implemented as part of the European University Alliance EPICUR. Financial support for these projects is provided by Movetia, the Swiss Agency for Exchange and Mobility. Movetia is funded by the Swiss Confederation. We warmly congratulate the winners:
