1. Call for Proposals: Transformations in Democracy

Funding is provided for individual and collaborative projects in the social sciences, humanities, and cultural studies that focus on the interactions between social dynamics and government action during the transformation process.

 

The focus is on the conditions under which democratic societies can maintain and further develop their capacity for negotiation and conflict resolution in times of profound change and in the context of new technologies.

The goal of this funding is to develop practical knowledge and appropriate solutions to address the challenges posed by ongoing transformation processes within the context of a relationship of mutual trust between government actors and society. The transfer of findings, solutions, and measures to relevant stakeholders should be an integral part of the projects.

Project proposals eligible for review must be submitted to the DLR Project Management Agency by August 31, 2026, at the latest, using the keyword “Transformation in Democracy,” either in writing and/or electronically via the Easy-Online web portal.

If you are interested in applying or have any questions, please contact Frau Dr. Brigitte Petendra.
