PRIN Hybrid

PRIN Hybrid sits under Italy's Ministry of University and Research as the interdisciplinary branch of the PRIN family. The 2026 call was framed as a first-edition instrument for projects that combine scientific and technological work with humanities, social science, and artistic perspectives, and it is limited to Italian research teams. The program funds 3-year grants of €1.2 million to €1.7 million from a €56.64 million budget. Consortia must include 4-6 research units and bring together social sciences and humanities with at least one other research field. The 2026 themes were quantum technologies, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and innovative health technologies, and 15% of the budget was reserved for principal investigators under 40. Selection moves through a three-stage review: technical-scientific screening, full project evaluation, and financial congruity review. The program is most relevant to university-led teams that can span disciplines without losing a clear research question, since the call rewards breadth only when the consortium can still present a coherent plan, credible governance, and a deliverable three-year work program.
