CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:To 'open up' something is associated with the curiosity to tak
 e the first step into something new and unknown. In this sense\, we are lo
 oking for projects that not only offer new perspectives on already known r
 esearch subjects\, but also explore entirely new research spaces and topic
 s. The funding offer assumes that these topics are currently characterized
  by a particular complexity and require a multi-perspective approach in or
 der to reveal and understand this complexity. We therefore want to suppor
 t researchers who open up new research and knowledge spaces in the humanit
 ies and cultural studies through the joint exploration of complex and prev
 iously unexplored research topics. By funding research collaborations of 
 two or three researchers\, the Foundation intends to facilitate the full c
 reative potential of the interaction of different expertise and perspectiv
 es.\n\nExplicitly sought are projects with a high degree of exploration\, 
 which can also be accompanied by a corresponding risk character of the pro
 ject – the possibility of not achieving the envisaged project goals is t
 herefore not a reason for rejecting a project.\n\nFunding:       max
 . €250K or €350K\n                        (for 2-
 3 partners\, respectively)\n\nDuration:      max. 18m\n\nEligibility:
  Funding can be provided for the constitution of international research gr
 oups comprised of up to 5 principal investigators (PIs). The main applican
 t needs to have completed their PhD degree in either a humanities\, a soci
 al or cultural science subject and be affiliated with a German university 
 or research institution. Scholars at all career levels post-PhD are eligib
 le to apply.\n\nHow to Apply: The short proposal (template) can be submitt
 ed on the electronic application system. For any assistance with the budge
 t plan\, please contact the Research Office.\n\nDeadline:      09 Apr
 il 2024 (2 pm CET)\n\nFurther information\n\n	More information about the p
 rogram is available here\n	The Information for Applicants document can be
