Interfaculty projects at Utrecht University (UU) that innovate and improve education are made possible annually by the Utrecht Education Incentive Fund (USO, ‘Utrechts Stimuleringsfonds Onderwijsvernieuwing’ in Dutch).

USO Innovation projects: Themes

This year, three themes have been defined in which projects up to €250,000 can be applied for:

Theme 1: Dialogue and debate
Theme 2: Assessment as learning
Theme 3: The free category

Terms and conditions

These cross-faculty USO projects with a maximum duration of 3 years have a faculty-transcending character and are therefore submitted by more than one faculty. We only grant projects that are not funded by the primary education process.

The deadline to apply as a consortium leader or a consortium member is on 18 October 2024. Awarded projects normally start by September 2025.

More information on the themes, procedure, timeline, evaluation criteria and application forms can be found on the call for proposals webpage published by Utrecht University.

Support from the CDH

At the Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH), we provide expert digital humanities (DH) support to all staff at the Faculty of Humanities (UU). One of our services consists of (co-)designing and buidling educational tools for humanities teachers.

If you would like to receive expert advice from DH specialists or if you wish to collaborate with the CDH, please feel free to contact us at cdh@uu.nl.
