Dear colleagues at EASST,
We are pleased to inform you about aCall for Applications from theifa Research Programme “Culture and Foreign Policy” on “Regional Expertise as Soft Power: Country-Specific Expertise in International Comparison”.**You can find more details about the Call for Applications through the following link:
**
The aim of this research project is to explore the state of area studies and show which regional expertise (including competences and skills) are lacking or severely depleted in Germany and other selected European countries, how policy could offer incentives to build up certain competences in this regard in addition to the freedom and independence of higher education institutions, or to what extent greater cooperation at European level should take place to fill specific gaps. The aim is not to take stock of or map university degree programmes or research centres, but to obtain an assessment from key stakeholders in academia and politics in an international comparison. How do European partners approach this issue? Where do they see greater needs for regional expertise? What strategies do other countries such as the USA, China, or India have?
Perhaps this may be interesting for the association and/or for the EASST network?
The deadline to apply is 27^th August 2024 and we welcome research proposals in English or in German.
The ifa Research Programme on “Culture and Foreign Policy” provides experts with an opportunity to conduct research on current topics related to international cultural relations and to work at the nexus of theory and practice. The latest academic findings are summarised concisely and precisely for those involved in foreign cultural and educational work. We work closely with the Federal Foreign Office and thus offer the opportunity to discuss the findings directly with the relevant actors and to formulate possible foreign policy measures.
We would be grateful if you could kindly disseminate this call within your network(s). Should you have recommendations of suitable experts to take on this research project, we would be grateful to receive your suggestions as well.
Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Warm regards,
Ivana Putri
