AHRC responsive mode: collaborate with researchers in Luxembourg

The AHRC Responsive Mode grant, in collaboration with the Fonds National de la Recherche (FNR) in Luxembourg, provides an opportunity for UK-based and Luxembourg-based researchers to engage in transformative, interdisciplinary arts and humanities projects. This funding scheme aims to foster international collaborations, enabling researchers to establish or enhance partnerships that bridge diverse fields, institutions, and countries. Projects can be hosted by any eligible UK research organisation and involve Luxembourg partners from FNR-authorised institutions, ensuring a robust transnational research network. The grants range from £300,000 to £1.5 million for the UK component, with AHRC covering 80% of the Full Economic Cost (FEC). Luxembourg's portion of the funding is managed by FNR and adheres to its guidelines. This funding model allows for flexibility in budget distribution, reflecting local cost variations. Applicants are encouraged to design projects that promote knowledge exchange, engage early-career researchers, and address real-world challenges. Proposals may involve cross-disciplinary efforts, with the arts and humanities element taking the lead in shaping research questions and methodologies. The grant also supports project co-leads from non-UK institutions under specific conditions. Projects can span up to five years, offering ample time for impactful collaborations. The initiative underscores equality, diversity, and inclusion, accommodating flexible working arrangements to support researchers’ varying needs. Trusted Research and Innovation (TR&I) principles are integral to the scheme, ensuring ethical, secure international collaboration. This grant invites bold, innovative proposals that align with AHRC and FNR themes, aiming to make significant contributions to arts and humanities research on a global scale.
