FRONTIER of Democracy
As the first initiative of Frontier Center for Advanced SSH, the Faculty is launching a call for pioneering projects within the Frontier of Democracy programme. The programme aims to provide seed investment to five projects across the faculty with a duration of 12 months. The five projects are reviewed and selected in open competition. The first call within the programme is designed to address current and future challenges to democracy. Research teams are provided with seed funding to host workshops, appoint research assistants, or convene writing retreats and collaborative workshops. The teams are guided by the Frontier directors who will provide hands-on advice and training for developing and maturing frontier research proposals.
