We learned of a UK-German funding initiative in
the humanities, including law.
The UK Arts and Humanities Research Council
(AHRC) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research
Foundation) hereby launch a competitive call for proposals with a view to
bringing together arts and humanities researchers in the UK and humanities
(including law and linguistics) researchers in Germany to conduct outstanding
joint UK-German research projects.
Both funding agencies are aware that some of
the best research can only be achieved by working with the best researchers
internationally. Accordingly, they wish to fund academic research of the
highest quality within their own countries, to strengthen and deepen
cooperation between their two countries in the relevant fields, and to
contribute to the growth of a transnational collaborative research culture in
the UK and Germany.
The scheme will provide funding for integrated
UK-German projects. The partner agencies will organise a coordinated peer
review and a single joint selection process. Funding will be distributed among
the research partners according to the researchers’ place of work and, in
general, according to the funding rules of each individual agency.
The call is open to applications addressing any
research topic where there is significant potential to advance knowledge
through collaborative research bringing together arts and humanities
researchers in the UK and humanities (including law and linguistics)
researchers in Germany (see call document for further details of the remit of
the call).
Awards will normally be for, and in any case
will not exceed, a period of three years. On the UK side awards will be for up
to a total of £350,000 (fEC). Projects do not have to be symmetrical, in the
sense that neither the sums requested nor the items requested have to be
identical on the UK and German sides, but there should not be large
discrepancies – we would expect the work packages to be delivered reasonably
equally.
This first joint call is being administered by
DFG and applications must be submitted via DFG’s submission system “elan”.
Deadline for this call for proposals: 20 February 2019 at midnight CET.
