What are QSL funds and how can I apply?
Each year, the university receives a special budget earmarked to improve study conditions and the quality of teaching (called QSL funds). All university members (teachers, staff members and students) who aim to pursue this goal through innovative, interdisciplinary or student projects can apply for these funds.
Following the recommendation of the Study Commission, the President's Council decides on the allocation of funds on a semester-by-semester basis.
