Call for Thematic Research Projects

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.

 

Selection criteria:

– The research teams must be composed of 3 to 6 researchers, and the project coordinator must be a higher-ranking teaching staff.

– The selected projects will be financed to the tune of about 2 000 000,00 DA, allocated exclusively to the management of the project and divided into two tranches, the first tranche representing about 50%.

– The members of each project will receive an annual research grant in accordance with Article 14 of Executive Decree No 21-144 of 17 April 2021, laying down the conditions for carrying out part-time scientific research and technological development activities and their remuneration.
