New ERA-NET CHANSE: First call in March 2021!

In January 2021, the ERA-NET "Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe" (CHANSE) started a new network of national research funders, which is supported by the European Commission as part of Horizon 2020. CHANSE is coordinated by the Polish National Science Center (Narodowe Centrum Nauki, NCN) and on the German side, the DLR Projektträger is involved on behalf of the BMBF.

CHANSE will support new and innovative research into the workings, meaning and consequences of transformations and innovations in the present digital age, viewed through the lens of the social and cultural dynamics. Whilst the call text does not preclude comparison with or investigation into other regions, every proposal must demonstrate a strong European dimension, i. e. investigating the changes taking place/affecting Europe as a whole, or at the level of a European country, city, community, etc.
