HERA (“Humanities in the European Research Area”) Matchmaking Event "Cultural Encounters"

The HERA ("Humanities in the European Research Area") Network invites researchers to apply for the participation at the "Cultural Encounters - Matchmaking Event" taking place in Berlin on 21 February 2012.

The aim of the Matchmaking Event is to present the Call for transnational humanities-led research proposals under the theme "Cultural Encounters" to be formally announced early February 2012 and to faciliate the building of international research partnerships. With up to €18 million available, the research programme will fund new and exciting Humanities-centred projects on Cultural Encounters involving researchers from three or more countries.

The deadline to register your interest in attending the Matchmaking Event is 30 November 2011, 14:00 CET (Central European Time). Eligible scholars are senior and early career researchers based in the following participating countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, and United Kingdom.

To attend the Matchmaking event, scholars would have to submit a project idea fitting with the Cultural Encounters theme via the application form (click "Register" button on the left side menu). The project idea will then be evaluated by the HERA JRP CE Board members. The travel costs of the invited applicants will be covered up to a set maximum. Further information on both this and the application process can be found here.
