Trans-Atlantic Platform Call: Recovery, Renewal, and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World

Sponsor:

Trans-Atlantic (T-AP) Platform Call: Recovery, Renewal, and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World

Program:

The T-AP research call on Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World (RRR) aims to address key gaps in our understanding of the dynamic and complex interaction of medium and long-term societal effects of COVID-19 pandemic. This understanding, in turn, should advance knowledge of how to mitigate the negative societal effects of COVID-19 pandemic and support recovery and renewal in a post-pandemic world. Applicants are required to submit novel interdisciplinary and significant SSH research proposals that address one or more of the following five challenges:

  • Reducing inequalities and vulnerabilities
  • Building a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable society
  • Fostering democratic governance and political participation
  • Advancing responsible and inclusive digital innovation
  • Ensuring effective and accurate communication and media

A focus on these five challenged will leverage the social sciences and humanities research to understand and address the complex societal effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and inform mitigation efforts, thus contributing to a more equitable, resilient and sustainable future. Key to the approach is the added value of new perspectives and insights generated by transnational and interdisciplinary collaborations. For more information, please consult the T-AP program summary presentation or call for proposals text.
