The Trans-Atlantic Platform (T-AP) for Social Sciences and Humanities, an unprecedented collaboration between humanities and social science research funders from South America, North America and Europe, is pleased to launch its third joint research call on Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World.

The T-AP research call on Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World (RRR) aims to address key gaps in our understanding of the dynamic and complex interaction of medium and long-term societal effects of COVID-19 pandemic. This understanding, in turn, should advance knowledge of how to mitigate the negative societal effects of COVID-19 pandemic and support recovery and renewal in a post-pandemic world. Applicants are required to submit novel interdisciplinary and significant SSH research proposals that address one or more of the following five challenges:

• reducing inequalities and vulnerabilities;
• building a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable society;
• fostering democratic governance and political participation;
• advancing responsible and inclusive digital innovation; and
• ensuring effective and accurate communication and media.

Applicants must apply as a transnational research project partnership. Each project must comprise at least three eligible Principal Investigators from at least three different T-AP participating countries from both sides of the Atlantic.

Expected duration of projects: between 24 and 36 months
