UK and South Korea social science, arts and humanities connections
Deadline: 26 October 2021
Apply for funding to develop long-term relationships between researchers based in the UK and South Korea. Projects must involve collaborative activities that are within the areas of social science, arts or humanities, engage a network of researchers in both countries, and include early career researchers.
Project Scope
Proposals may be submitted on any relevant social science/humanities topic so long as they are principally focused within the ESRC remit or AHRC remit. Interdisciplinary proposals are strongly encouraged, as are applications that focus on areas where there may be particular value in collaboration between UK and South Korean researchers, e.g. post-pandemic recovery, environmentally sustainable growth, healthy ageing, ethics and technology, and global trade and security. Applicants should consider how their proposal makes the best use of available expertise in the UK and South Korea, together with the added value of new or existing collaborations.
Eligibility
Applicants must be researchers based at an eligible UK research organisation eligible for UKRI funding at postdoctoral level or higher. The lead international collaborator(s) should be listed as international co-investigators under this scheme.
Funding Available
This is a non-standard full economic cost opportunity, and therefore applicants should apply for 100% of the direct costs of the activities which they wish to undertake, with a maximum award of £50,000. Travel and subsistence costs are eligible and are expected to constitute the majority of the requested costs. Conference costs, some consumables, costs for venue hire and setting up websites may also be included. Grants are not, however intended to support substantive research projects and cannot be used to fund salary costs, investigator costs or items of equipment. The grant start date must begin no later than 1 February 2022.
How to Apply
Applicants should submit proposals through the Joint Electronic Submission system (Je-S). The opportunity will be open through Je-S from 09:30 11 August 2021 and will close at 16:00 26 October 2021. More information on this opportunity and the application process can be found on the UKRI's webpage.
