Description

Migration within Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 6: Europe in a changing world—Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies

“SIRI will be offering support with application development for this opportunity.  Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Jennifer Stevens (v5js@mun.ca) early during the development process to discuss the services available to them.”

SSHRC is launching a call for proposals in support of Canadian researchers’ engagement with European research consortia funded via the Horizon 2020 (H2020) research platform. This is the second round of this SSHRC funding opportunity.

In October 2017, the European Union (EU) launched H2020, a final three-year work program representing the largest EU research funding platform to date, comprising calls for research totalling €30 billion. In 2020, the last year of the work program, the platform includes an ambitious plan for international research collaboration on migration issues, with up to €32 million for topics ranging from the international protection of refugees to the integration of migrant children.

SSHRC encourages interested Canadian researchers to work directly with research teams from EU member states on the theme of migration within H2020 societal challenge 6: Europe in a changing world—Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies.

SSHRC will make one- to three-year awards valued at $75,000 to $200,000 available to researchers (affiliated with an eligible Canadian institution) on successful H2020 research teams.

Researchers based in Quebec may receive additional support of $50,000 from the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) seeks to engage with Canadian researchers successful in this competition that are researching topics of high priority to the IRCC. Contact SSHRC for further details.

For further details about the H2020 call itself, visit the European Commission’s Research & Innovation Participant Portal.

Researchers applying for SSHRC support are responsible for initiating contact with eligible EU researchers and teams to form a consortium, participating in proposal development, and carrying out the proposed research.

• For general information on international co-operation and participation, consult the H2020 Online Manual.
• For detailed information about participating on an EU research team, visit the EU H2020 website.

SSHRC will support the following four subthemes in this H2020 call:
