Research environment grant within humanities and social sciences

The purpose of the research environment grant within humanities and social sciences is to create added value through collaboration in larger groupings and with a somewhat longer perspective than standard projects can offer. The grant is applied for by a constellation of several researchers from different higher education institutions (HEI) and/or different subjects, nationally or internationally, who are working towards a common research goal.

The collaboration may, for example, be justified by a research task with a interdisciplinary focus, joint projects between researchers at different universities, or research linked to a national/international infrastructure. The research task must be so extensive and so challenging that it cannot be addressed by a single project leader, and the application must demonstrate that the research environment offers a unique combination of the knowledge and competences required to address this particular task.
