In a context of extreme geopolitical risk and severe disruption to Gaza’s academic and research systems, the EU-funded H-Gaza project aims to safeguard and reconnect Gaza’s present and future research and innovation capacity by mapping existing regional and local support initiatives, stakeholders, and potential beneficiaries (Palestinian researchers in and from Gaza); piloting a Virtual Research Collaboration Hub for 75 researchers in or from Gaza, and conducting a scenario-based feasibility assessment to guide the design of a larger intervention.
The H-Gaza Virtual Research Collaboration Hub is a 9-month programme (September 2026 – May 2027) to support Palestinian researchers in or from Gaza to continue their research activities and expand international collaborations.
The programme offers mentoring and career guidance, research capacity support of up to EUR 7.000, discipline-specific discussion groups, training in transferable skills, networking and collaboration opportunities.
Application deadline: 31 July 2026, 23:59 Palestine time
