The Regional Research Promotion Programme (RRPP) Western Balkans, launched in 2007, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), is aimed at establishing and strengthening research capacities in the field of social sciences in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, FYR of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The RRPP provides funding to researchers from the region conducting relevant research projects.

Furthermore, the proposals must fit into the regional umbrella topic, “Political, Social and Economic Change in the Western Balkans.” This includes the following priority areas:
Beyond ethnicity:
- 1. Social and economic change and the challenges of (new) social disparities
- 2. States, networks and informality
Deadline: 31/03/2012
