The British Academy continues its efforts to sustain and further strengthen the UK’s engagement and research collaboration with partners overseas despite the challenges of the current pandemic. Following the announcement of seven new interdisciplinary projects exploring options for promoting societal resilience, we recently opened a new competition round under our Knowledge Frontiers programme. We are inviting applications from UK-based researchers in the humanities and the social sciences wishing to collaborate with colleagues in other disciplines and countries on topics at the intersection between technology, nature and humanity. In partnership with the Polish Academy of Sciences, we are also inviting applications to an international research collaboration symposium on the broad theme of ‘Just Transitions’. This call is open to early career scholars from the UK and Poland, and has an application deadline of 24 June. We are planning to hold similar symposia also jointly with the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the Swedish Royal Academy of Letters, Histories and Antiquities and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, and there is still time to apply.
