With a budget of 7 million euros, increased to 9 million in the 2023 edition,
and approximately 45 funded projects per edition, the University of Padua STARS @UNIPD Programme supports two-year individual research projects, characterized by ground-breaking and innovative ideas, proposed by Principal Investigators of any age and nationality aiming to carry out their research activity in one of the 32 Departments of the University.
Each call for proposals, which is published every two years since 2017, encourages excellent research, fostering a transparent and merit-based competition, and supports researchers in the submission of a proposal in the prestigious European Research Council funding schemes.
