CIVICA is launching a new call for proposals to establish multidisciplinary research hubs. The goal is to support teams across at least four CIVICA universities in securing long-term funding for innovative, impactful research projects. Each proposal will receive seed funding for an 18-month phase to build teams, conduct pilot research and develop a plan to secure external grants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Faculty and (post-doctoral) researchers in CIVICA universities are invited to submit proposals for collaborative, multidisciplinary research with the goal to apply for larger grants (Horizon, ERC, national funding, etc.) and longer-term cooperation.<\/p>\n

Only plans for innovative, transformative, and impactful research will be considered. Proposals should envisage working together for a longer period (4-7 years) as a CIVICA Research Hub and spell out three phases of their cooperation:<\/p>\n

Phase one: Seed-funded exploratory research proposal (building a team, doing a pilot study, creating a network, etc.) for the CIVICA-funded period of the first 18 months;
\nPhase two: steps to secure a larger, external grant;
\nPhase three: steps for the functioning of the externally-funded CIVICA Research Hub.<\/p>\n

All fields in the Social Sciences and Humanities are eligible. CIVICA encourages submissions that broadly encompass our thematic priorities:<\/p>\n
