The nature of society and equality across age groups, industry, habitats and public policy are among 13 exciting new projects announced today.
The projects will enable researchers in Canada, France, Germany, the UK and Japan to collaborate on the social sciences and further strengthen international cooperation.
Funded by the Open Research Area for the Social Sciences (ORA), which aims to minimise bureaucracy in international research, the projects are delivered by:
- Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), France (FR)
- Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Germany (DE)
- Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), Canada (CA)
- UK Research and Innovation Economic and Social Research Council (UKRI ESRC), UK.
They will associate with the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), who as in the previous ORA round, have already established a process for Japanese researchers to participate in complementary projects.
