Europeana Research Grants Programme 2017: call for submissions - 'Intercultural dialogue'

08/10/2017

From the organisers:

In European Cultural Heritage Strategy for the 21st Century, the Council of Europe recognized that ‘[c]ultural heritage, in all its components, tangible and intangible, is a key factor for the refocusing of our societies on the basis of dialogue between cultures, respect for identities and diversity, and a feeling of belonging to a community of values. Cultural heritage can play a key role as a means of building, negotiating and asserting identity’ (2017, page 6).

We encourage applicants to come up with individual research projects which make use of Europeana Collections content to showcase and explore the theme of intercultural dialogue. Applicants should employ state-of-the-art tools and methods in digital humanities to address a specific research question. We expect to see applications employing as much of the Europeana platform (e.g., the API, metadata,) as possible.

Who can apply?

You should be a postgraduate or doctoral student, or an early career scholar (1) in any field within the humanities, social sciences, archival or information sciences.

How will Europeana Research be involved in your project?

You will be in charge of your own project and free to pursue it according to a schedule you define, provided that you complete the project by 1 May 2018. Selected members of the Europeana Research team and Advisory Board will be available to offer guidance and advice, based on their area of expertise and in accordance with your needs.

What funding is available?

Funding is available for up to 8,000 euros per successful project. Up to three successful proposals will be funded. Funding can be used for the buyout of researcher time, travel, meetings, or developer costs. This funding does not include overheads.
