The Thematic Agency for Research in the Social Sciences and Humanities announces the opening of applications for thematic research projects for the year 2024. The Agency proposes to fund several research projects, covering various fields of the social sciences and humanities. Research in these areas plays an essential role in understanding and solving the main problems facing societies. Research must adapt to current social changes and developments, in particular in the fields of digitalisation, mental and social disorders, heritage and its relationship with development, as well as social issues such as labour and migration, which currently pose major challenges in Algeria.
Thematic research projects are designed to address various research issues and are open to all research entities (laboratories, research units, research centres, etc.) as well as to all national researchers and expertise, including those residing abroad. These thematic research projects encourage collaboration with the social and economic partners.
The Agency encourages projects to move beyond basic research and to engage in an analytical and multidisciplinary approach, providing operational solutions to address effectively current social challenges and development needs.
