Innovation Fund Denmark launches Open Call on Social Sciences and Humanities

Denver Foundation inviting Nonprofits to Apply for Funding for the Care Fund

Deadline: 01-Oct-20

The Innovation Fund Denmark (IFD) has launched an open call on Social Sciences and Humanities.

The objective with this call is to invest in research-based projects within social sciences and humanities, involving partnerships from public and private institutions (universities, municipalities, schools, hospitals, companies, NGO´s, consultancy, unions, etc.) that contribute to solutions to major societal challenges globally and in Denmark.

Social sciences and humanities are crucial to understanding the way people, local communities, whole societies, and enterprises behave, communicate, make decisions, and interact with each other. They know that behavior relates to, e.g., traditions, habits, values, beliefs, economic incentives, and physical space. Thus, social sciences and humanities, alone or in interaction with other scientific disciplines as engineering and natural sciences, have a great potential to finding concrete solutions to major societal challenges.

The call aims for projects that can prove genuine impact and where the qualified knowledge base is verified in practice, as it is IFD’s role to invest in projects that can achieve a broader societal impact. Innovation Fund Denmark encourages partnerships that with an outset in social and humanities research involve public and private entities; that complement each other’s expertise and that will help implement the project’s results.
