The British Academy is aiming to support international programs that convene researchers internationally together over three years to develop sustained engagement across disciplines and borders. The Academy envisages the awards made through this call will excel in achieving the following expectations:
- An ambitious, beyond-the-state-of-the-art program that breaks new ground, that will achieve a significant change related to the policy-related problem/challenge focused on, at a global level.
- An internationally convened body of researchers with engagement across multiple, and potentially all, regions of the world. The program will develop a diverse and equitable international partnership that is transparent and based on mutual respect.
- A highly interdisciplinary body of researchers that includes both the humanities and the social sciences at its core and may include other disciplines beyond.
- A novel exchange of ideas and co-creation of knowledge with wider stakeholders through identifying areas with the Academy to catalyze change in and translate knowledge with industry, practice, policy, and society.
Applications must be related to the themes below of Just Transitions, What is a good city?, and Global (Dis)Order. These are to provide a framing for the call. The Academy wishes to encourage novel thinking rather than offering a pre-designed idea of the challenge. The onus is on the applicants to convince the Academy that their applications bring genuine added value to addressing the Call.
