European call for proposals in the social sciences: Enhancing well-being for the future

The network NORFACE and CHANSE are launching a joint call for proposals. Swiss-based researchers can participate.

NORFACE (the New Opportunities for Research Funding Agency Cooperation in Europe network), in collaboration with CHANSE (Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe), propose a major transnational programme on the topic of “Enhancing Well-Being for the Future ”. This theme can be approached from a variety of perspectives and disciplines, primarily social sciences and beyond. It enables and encourages multi-disciplinarity and provides opportunities for pan-European research integrating researchers from different regions of Europe, and for comparisons across various contexts. The present call proposes to focus the research on the following themes:

• Crises, challenges and well-being
• Environmental challenges and well-being
• Well-being and mental health
• Well-being, economy and politics

Researchers from at least four countries

The projects selected within this call will be funded directly by national/regional funding agencies and their partners from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.

Each proposal must involve a minimum of four and a maximum of six principal investigators from four or more different countries participating in the call. Furthermore, projects must have a duration of between 24 and 36 months, and the budget across all partners should not exceed 1,500,000 euros.
