Swiss-based researchers can participate.\ n\nHERA and CHANSE are inviting transnational consortia to submit humaniti es-led proposals that address innovative outlooks on the phenomena of cris es past and present. Proposed research may draw on insights and methodolog ies from a wide spectrum of humanities disciplines.\n\nProposals may invol ve a variety of perspectives from one or several of the following sub-them es:\n \n\n Different understandings of crises: Proposals focusing on the conceptualisation of crisis may investigate how all crises have a discursi ve dimension. Proposals could address the significance of crisis within di fferent cultural traditions\, the transcultural exchanges\, and their impa cts on understandings\; narratives of crisis\; critical research theories or methodologies that have caused crises in the humanities resulting in ma jor conceptual transformations and research on the impact of human activit ies on climate and the environment from a humanities perspective.\n Crises and the human response: In both media and politics\, the term ‘crisis ’ is and was frequently used to dramatize a situation to generate the pe rception of a looming threat or impending disaster\, which creates a risk of escalation based on polarised emotional reactions. Proposals could inve stigate how media\, politics and other entities contribute to the escalati on or/and de-escalation and resolution of crises\; how some assertions of belonging create\, contribute to or respond to crises\; and whether the co ncept of crisis is an effective tool for analysis and explanation in the p olitical\, cultural\, intellectual and economic domains.\n Representations of crises: Proposals might investigate the evolving representations (or p oetics) of crises\, i.e. the changing representations of crisis resulting from transformations of heritage and cultural memory. Proposals could addr ess the immediate responses to and different representations of crises in literature\, philosophy and the arts\; the extended forms of commemoration \, post-memory reinterpretations\; whose vision of crisis is represented i n the media\, literature and the creative and performative arts and why th ey are chosen.\n\n\nEligibility requirements for applicants based in Switz erland\n\n\n Each proposal must involve a minimum of four and a maximum of six principal investigators from four countries who are on the list of el igible countries for funding by their respective national/regional funding agency (Austria\, Belgium (F.R.S-FNRS)\, Croatia\, Czechia\, Denmark\, Es tonia\, Finland\, France\, Ireland\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Norway\, Poland\ , Portugal\, Romania\, Slovakia\, Slovenia\, Spain\, Sweden\, Switzerland\ , United Kingdom).\n Project duration: From 24 to 36 months\, and the budg et across all partners should not exceed 1\,500\,000 euros.\n Applicants n eed to meet the personal and formal requirements for submissions of propos als set out in the following SNSF regulations:\n\n- Funding Regulations (p articularly articles 10 and 13)\n- General Implementation Regulations for the Funding Regulations\n- Regulations on Project Funding (particularly ar ticles 4 and 5)\n\n\n Generally\, applicants who are eligible in the proje ct funding scheme are also eligible in the current HERA call. Please note that a HERA grant will not count as a grant in the project funding scheme (i.e.\, the rule “one person\, two grants” is not applied to this call \, cf. article 13 in the Regulations on Project Funding). However\, the re search projects must be thematically distinct and pursue different goals ( cf. article 17 in the Funding Regulations).\n\n\nEligible funding for Swis s based researchers:\n\n\n Personnel costs (salaries of scientific and tec hnical staff in research projects). Project Leaders\n\n(PL) or Principal I nvestigators (PI) cannot apply for their own salary.\n\n\n Material costs that are directly related to the research work\, namely material of enduri ng\n\nvalue\, field expenses\, travel costs\, costs incurred by project pa rtners and subcontractors\,\ncomputing time and data.\n\n Direct costs inc urred using research infrastructure linked to the research work.\n Costs f or the organisation of conferences and workshops in connection with the fu nded research.\n Costs for national and international cooperation and netw orking activities carried out in connection with the funded research.\n Co sts for open research data.\n Overhead: The overhead contributions are cal culated on the basis of the research funding\n\nacquired by eligible insti tutions under eligible funding schemes. The contributions are paid\neach y ear as a flat rate to the institutions as a whole and are therefore not pa rt of the eligible\ncosts (cf. Overhead Regulations)\n\nThe SNSF will fina nce approximately 3 projects with applicants from Switzerland. To provide for a greater degree of flexibility\, there is no maximum contribution set per project for the Swiss part. Nevertheless\, budgets of a collaborative research projects must be balanced\, and Swiss based applicants should ai m at a budget no higher than around €350\,000- 400\,000 per project.\n\n If one international project includes more than one Swiss based applicant\ , the respective applicants must apply as a consortium and submit a joint budget. Please note that the specified limit on the budget applies to the Swiss consortium as a whole.\n\nSubmission process:\nAlong with the applic ation to the CHANSE online submission system\, applicants must provide bas ic administrative data by submitting an administrative application in mySN F for the same deadline as the consortium application is submitted. Please select the “ERA-NET + EJP: Pre-proposal 2023” funding instrument when creating the application for the pre-proposal. The budget on the Swiss pa rt of the project must be given in CHF in mySNF.\n\nTimeline of the call:\ n\n\n Deadline for outline proposals: 21 September 2023\, 14:00 CEST\n Dea dline for invited full proposals: 26 March 2024\, 14:00 CET\n Call results : October/November 2024\n Start of funded projects: end of 2024 / beginnin g of 2025\n\n\n\nFor further information\, please have a look at the call webpage\, call guidelines\, national eligibility requirements (pages 40-41 )\, and refer to the SNSF dedicated website.
