The Trans-Atlantic Platform (T-AP) is a collaboration among key humanities and social science funders in Europe and the Americas. T-AP aims to enhance transnational research collaboration and has identified, with the help of the social sciences and humanities research communities, a series of common challenges and strategic priority areas where such collaboration will bring added value.
Funding Organisations
This call is supported by selected funders from different countries. These countries are: Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom. The complete list of T-AP SI funding organisations and the links to the restrictions they set on eligibility can be found on the T-AP website.
Research Topic
The multi-national and trans-Atlantic projects funded under this call are expected to both add to understandings of social innovation and deliver social innovation(s) through new research. Trans-Atlantic collaboration in this research call will facilitate:
• addressing social challenges faced on both sides of the Atlantic (e.g. digital divide; urban and rural developments and cohesion; access to public services and infrastructure; ethnic conflicts; human rights and legislation; the current state of democracy; equality and social, political and human values);
• learning from the experiences of multi-sectoral collaboration for social innovation practiced on both sides of the Atlantic (e.g. innovative forms of economic organization; new (digital) technologies and accessibility; global and local environmental issues and sustainable development; strategies for social cohesion; integration of health and social care services; improvement of education and overcoming of linguistic barriers);
• applying and adapting approaches from one locale to another;
• generalizing and/or scaling-up of local experiences.
Additional program details and application templates can be found on T-AP’s website.
