ESRC responsive mode: working with Luxembourg researchers round two

Open UKRI funding opportunity · Grant. Open with no closing date. Opportunity page: https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/esrc-responsive-mode-working-with-luxembourg-researchers-round-two/

This opportunity funds work with researchers in Luxembourg. Collaborative work is governed by an agreement between UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and FNR. You can submit collaborative research proposals in any area of social sciences within the remit of both ESRC and FNR.

Applications are via the UKRI Funding Service and will run as consecutive rounds with closing dates.

The full economic cost (FEC) of the UK part of your project can range from £350,000 to £1 million. ESRC will fund 80% of the FEC. FNR will pay all justified costs for Luxembourg submitted through their system.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for ESRC funding.

What we're looking for Scope

You can submit a collaborative research proposal in any area of the social sciences within the remit of ESRC and FNR.

UK and Luxembourg applicants should ensure that their joint applications are well balanced, with clear roles and objectives attributed to both sides of the collaboration. Within the joint applications, the UK collaborator should be the lead applicant contributing with a slightly higher research effort.

We will fund basic, applied and strategic research from any disciplines and on any topics within ESRC’s remit. Ambitious and novel proposals addressing new concepts and techniques are encouraged, as are those with the potential for significant scientific or societal and economic impact. There are no thematic or methodological priorities; we will fund the highest quality proposals received, regardless of focus or approach.

Proposals can draw from the wider sciences, as long as the social sciences are more than 50% of the focus and effort. We will work with other research councils to ensure that applications close to remit boundaries are assessed by the most appropriate lead council.…
