HERA Joint Research Programme 2012 "Cultural Encounters"
The Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) Network has launched a
new Joint Research Programme under the theme "Cultural Encounters".
Transnational consortia are invited to submit proposals for
humanities-centred research into the causes, conditions and consequences of
Cultural Encounters. Research proposals may draw on the knowledge,
understanding and methodologies relevant to a wide spectrum of the arts and
humanities disciplines. Although humanities-driven, proposals may also
involve contributions from other research domains where appropriate. The
national humanities fund-providers involved in the launch of this programme
want to create opportunities for collaborative, trans-national
humanities-led research that will result in new academic insights that are
relevant to the major social, cultural, and political challenges facing
Europe. The beneficiaries of this "Call for Proposals" are eligible
scholars located in the HERA countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden and United Kingdom,
irrespective of their nationality. The Joint Research Programme is
co-funded by the humanities funding agencies in the 18 participating HERA
countries and the European Commission. The total budget amounts to € 18.5
million.Collaborative Research Projects (CRP) proposals must involve three
or more Principal Investigators based in three or more different HERA JRP
countries. Each CRP proposal can apply for research funding up to a maximum
amount of € 1 million (joint for all partners) and the duration can be
for up to 36 months.The Estonian partner of HERA is the Estonian Science
Foundation.For further information, visit the HERA homepage.Alternatively,
