Apply funding for your diversity and inclusivity initiative
We encourage our community members to apply for funding for their EDI initiatives with a low threshold. No initiative is too small to advance equal opportunities. The application period is open on November 1 - November 30, 2025.
Who can apply?
The students and staff of the School of Electrical Engineering can apply for the funding. Whether it's a small or big initiative, network meeting, seminar series, creative project, mentorship scheme, public events - be brave and apply! The most important thing is that the funded project supports equality, diversity and inclusion at Aalto.
Please note that this funding cannot be applied for research project. Salaries and fees are funded only in very exceptional cases - please contact EDI-group (information below) before sending your proposal if this is what you need funding for.
When can I apply?
The application period is open from November 1 until November 30. Awarded projects will be announced mid-December and should start by April 1st, 2026 at the latest.
How much funding can I get?
The budget for a single project should not exceed 4 000 euros. The school has reserved up to 8 000 euros for the projects.
How can I apply?
- All projects must abide by the Aalto Code of Conduct.
- This funding is not intended to cover already existing activities.
- The proposals will be evaluated based on their potential EDI impact. In addition, we can take into account their impact across department or student guild borders. An impactful project could provide substantial help to a small group, or a small amount of help to a large group.
- Applications will be judged by a subcommittee of the School of Electrical Engineering EDI group and final decisions will be approved by the Dean.
- Possible communication and/or marketing of the project is agreed upon with the communication services of the school.
- Notice that the School of Science has a corresponding Fund open at the same time November 1 - November 30. Projects involving both schools are encouraged.
- The judging subcommittee is happy to consult and assist with proposals before submitting, and potential applicants are encouraged to talk with us before making a proposal. See our contact information below!
