Call for funding for project application to Horizon Europe on democracy
The Linnaeus Knowledge Environment: A Questioned Democracy announces funding to initiate research applications to the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2023-2024: Innovative research on democracy and governance. Last date for applications for this funding is 29 October 2022.
According to early information, this call will be of great interest for research on the problems of a questioned democracy. A Questioned Democracy wants to be a meeting place where new knowledge is generated to meet the questioning of liberal democracy. With this call we want to support Linnaeus University's researchers to seek research funding from Horizon Europe: Innovative research on democracy and governance.
Through our call, Linnaeus University's researchers are offered to seek funds to organize international contacts, workshops and what is needed to write a successful application to Horizon Europe: Innovative research on democracy and governance. As it stands, there will be two application rounds to Horizon Europe: Innovative research on democracy and governance – one in March 2023 and one in 2024.
A Questioned Democracy will provide funding of SEK 300,000 each for two applications. When deciding on funding, the knowledge environment’s management team makes an assessment of how successful the idea is in relation to the topics presented in the finished call for Horizon Europe: Innovative research on democracy and governance. In addition, success in previous applications for external research funding is taken into account. Allocated funds can be used in 2022 and 2023.
