CHANSE International Humanities and Social Sciences Research Programme

Funding for collaborative, transnational research projects on set themes of critical importance to the humanities and social sciences.

CHANSE (Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe) is a joint initiative of 27 research funding organisations from 24 countries across Europe. The CHANSE programme has been co-created by HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area) and NORFACE (New Opportunities for Research Funding Agency Cooperation in Europe) networks, with co-funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 programme, to support research, knowledge exchange and the promotion of best practice in the humanities and social sciences across Europe.

The CHANSE research funding programme draws together funding from national funding agencies from participating countries, together with €10 million co-funding from the European Union, to offer new opportunities for international research cooperation in a critical area of enquiry. CHANSE provides opportunities for pan-European research, integrating researchers from different regions of Europe, to deliver a broad range of academic, societal and economic impacts within, across and beyond the partner countries.

The CHANSE research funding programme operates on a Call for Proposals basis to invite applications for collaborative, transnational research on set themes of critical importance to the humanities and social sciences.
