New call for Fast Track Research into Conflict

15 februari 2010

The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research has launched a second call for proposals within the theme Conflict and Security. The focus of this call is on Fast Track Research into emerging, active, escalating or de-escalating conflict. Researchers may apply for funding to do research while the conflict is 'active' or suddenly transforming.

The call for short-term research, Fast Track Research, aims to enhance research into emerging conflict or conflict transformation. In any case, a sense of urgency or topicality is required. Researchers may apply for funding to be able to do research into conflict at short notice, to be able to gather research data and material while the conflict is 'active' or rapidly (de-) escalating. In addition to thematic foci of the previous call, also proposals in the field of Conflict and Natural Resources and Gender and Conflict are welcomed.

Applicants are welcomed to submit proposals for postdoc positions or senior researchers' replacement. The selection procedure will take about four months. The total budget earmarked for the projects under the present call for proposals is EUR 1,175 million.

Deadline for proposals is 6 April 2010, 12:00 hrs CET.
