By launching the first HERA JRP call for proposals, 13 national funding partners want to create collaborative, trans-national research opportunities that will derive new insights from humanities research in order to address major social, cultural, and political challenges facing Europe. In consultation with their national researcher communities, they have jointly defined and developed common research priorities, and created a new trans-national funding mechanism.

The beneficiaries of this Call are eligible scholars located in Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden and United Kingdom, irrespective of their nationality. Successful proposals will require the building of consortia of three or more partners based in three or more different HERA JRP countries.

The Programme will cover research funding in the amount of max. 1M€ per CRP which must focus on original excellent trans-national research in either of the two themes, must have European-added value and include networking and knowledge transfer activities. The maximum duration of each CRP is 36 months.

Outline Proposals are to be submitted electronically via the HERA website by 7 April, 14:00 CET. It is expected that Full Proposals will be invited in May 2009 with 1 September 2009, 14:00 CET as expected deadline for submission.
