UMAP Research Net promotes research collaboration and facilitates cooperation among member institutions across the UMAP Network. Research Net aims to promote academic mobility and collaboration, and to promote effective interaction and exchange among scholars, researchers, and educators across cultures. 

UMAP Research Net announces calls for collaborative multi-institution research proposals which are then reviewed by an international panel of reviewers.  UMAP selects the proposals based on their significance, timelines, and relevance to the goals of UMAP.   The Research Net Competition is held approximately every two years. The 2024 Research Net Competition is currently open. Please see the Call for Proposals and Application Guidelines linked here for more information.   The application form is available here with a deadline of June 30, 2024.
