Democratic governance in a turbulent age (Governance)

As a member of the NORFACE (New Opportunities for Research Funding Agency Cooperation in Europe) Network, ANR participates in the call for proposals « Democratic governance in a turbulent age (Governance) ». This call aims to address important challenges to democratic governance and politics in Europe  which are facing turbulent times. This ERA-NET Cofund research programme offers a timely investigation of the precise nature of the turbulence, but also how European states can negotiate it and develop strategies to enhance the quality of democratic politics and governance.

The programme is structured around five of the most important challenges to democratic governance and politics:

1. Inequality and redistribution
2. The evolving politics of threat
3. The democratisation of information
4. Shifting identities and representation
5. The changing authority of institutions

Only transnational projects will be funded. Researchers can submit a proposal on behalf of a project team comprised of at least three (3) eligible research partners based in three or more different countries participating in this NORFACE Call. There must at least be a Main Applicant, and two or more Co-applicants in each consortium. Only researchers employed in the following countries are eligible to apply as Main Applicant or Co-Applicant, irrespective of their nationality: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
