The Development Fund has three application deadlines per year. The application deadlines for 2025 are February 23, April 27 and September 21. Applications are assessed by an evaluation committee consisting of the Student Union Board, the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and the Head of Development. The results will be announced within three weeks of the application deadline.

Requirements for project applications:

  • The applicant student organisation must be strongly connected to the University of Tartu*

  • The requested amount is at least 500 euros

  • All expenses of the planned project have been incurred by March 15, 2026

  • The project contributes to the implementation of the objective or objectives of the UT Development Plan

We support projects that contribute to the implementation of the objectives of the University of Tartu Development Plan and increase the coherence of the university and students. Projects must be innovative and engaging. In the case of traditional events, the event must have a novel aspect that makes this event special. We support student involvement across disciplines or institutes. We also value cooperation between several societies and/or organisations.
