But what happens when theories and conceptual frameworks are de-contextualised and used for purposes other than those originally intended? Through this call for proposals, the Foundation supports research on such “dual use” effects and explores how the transfer of ideas from academia into political and ideological contexts takes place.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nResearch on the following topics is eligible for funding:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>The occurrence, nature and manifestations of a specific ‘dual use’ of concepts and theories in the humanities and social sciences, which differs from deliberate disinformation or merely a simplified reception. What are its characteristic practices?</li>\r\n\t<li>Characteristics of theories and concepts in the humanities and social sciences that facilitate their ideologically motivated repurposing. What might a reception-sensitive approach to theory-building look like without restricting the freedom of research and teaching?</li>\r\n\t<li>Pathways of transfer and networks of actors through which ideas from the humanities and social sciences move from academic contexts into political, ideological or digital public spheres.</li>\r\n\t<li>Conditions under which such reinterpretations have a particular impact – for example, in the interplay of academic debates, media dynamics and political interests.</li>\r\n\t<li>Consequences arising from this for science communication in the humanities and social sciences. How can complex or critical concepts be communicated without them being easily oversimplified, misunderstood or ideologically exploited in public debates?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br>\r\nFunding is available for (interdisciplinary) project teams from the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences, consisting of two to three researchers (one PI and up to two Co-PIs).<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Funding</strong>: up to EUR 650K<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Duration</strong>: max. 2 years<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Eligibility:</strong> The call for proposals is aimed at researchers with a PhD who are employed at German universities and research institutions.

COST Actions have a duration of 4 years. The deadline to submit a COST Action is usually in October. COST Actions do not cover research funding. Integration into existing COST actions is possible.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSwitzerland is one of the founding countries of COST and a full member of the COST Association. Thanks to this status, researchers in Switzerland are entitled to participate in COST Actions or to coordinate them and submit applications for new Actions.
