Pre-Announcement: Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World

The COVID-19 pandemic is a major crisis that touches on all aspects of health, social, economic, political, and cultural life. The T-AP research call 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 research proposals in the social sciences and humanities that address one or more of the following five challenges:
o reducing inequalities and vulnerabilities
o building a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable society
o fostering democratic governance and political participation
o advancing responsible and inclusive digital innovation
o ensuring effective and accurate communication and media

Applicants must apply as a transnational research project partnership. Each project must comprise at least three eligible principal investigators from at least three different T-AP participating countries from both sides of the Atlantic. Applicants are encouraged to start discussing possible projects with prospective partners.
