The Platform PDI-SSH has opened their second (and last) call for proposals, to strengthen research and infrastructure in the field of digitisation.
Applications can be submitted to finance structural digital infrastructural provisions.
The application deadline is 30 June 2021. On 11 May an online information event for potential applicants will take place from 16.00 – 17.15. Please contact Merle Achten if you are considering to attend or apply.
The main objective of the domain-wide plan for digital SSH is to strengthen research and infrastructure in the field of digitisation.
The PDI-SSH will use the following criteria to assess applications:
- Quality: initiatives must provide a digital infrastructure to strengthen innovative and interdisciplinary SSH scientific research (weighting 30%).
- National interest: initiatives must be accessible and relevant for multiple disciplines and universities (weighting 30%).
- Long term: initiatives should be established for the longer term (weighting 30%).
- Cooperation SS and H: a preference is given to initiatives involving both social sciences as well as humanities (weighting 10%).
Applications can be submitted to finance structural digital infrastructural provisions, i.e. infrastructural provisions that offer long-term enrichment of the infrastructural landscape for social sciences as well as humanities. Following a positive assessment from the SSH Committee (point 3.5 brochure), applications for structural provisions will be eligible for structural (continuous) allocation of resources after 2024 for running the infrastructure.
Projects have the duration of three years, and have a minimum of € 100,000 as a lower limit and an upper limit of €1 million for the total size of the investment.
The total budget of this call round is €6.5 million.
The closing date for submitting proposals is 30 June 2021, 23.59 CE(S)T. The award decision will be announced before 15 November 2021.
