CHANSE, Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe, a programme under Horizon Europe, supports transnational research projects under the theme: Transformations: Social and Cultural Dynamics in the Digital Age, with a total budget of EUR 36 million.
CHANSE is the collaborative effort of the HERA and NORFACE research networks. CHANSE will support new and innovative research into the workings, meaning and consequences of transformations and innovations in the present digital age, viewed through the lens of the social and cultural dynamics. Whilst the call text does not preclude comparison with or investigation into other regions, every proposal must demonstrate a strong European dimension, i.e. investigating the changes taking place or affecting Europe as a whole, or at the level of a European country, city, community, and so forth.
The main theme, Transformations: Social and Cultural Dynamics in the Digital Age, is divided into two topics: Cultural Transformations in the Digital Age, and Digitalisation and Social Transformation.
