Proof of concept
The aim of these calls is to provide spaces for collaborative and interdisciplinary research at the university and, to this end, those interested in applying for grants must have at least one researcher from a scientific discipline other than their own participating in and co-leading their project.
The call for applications for these grants promotes permeability between digital health and other fields of knowledge, encourages collaborative work between researchers from different disciplines and promotes multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research.
