British Academy Conferences: submission of proposals

http://www.britac.ac.uk/node/4262

The British Academy, the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences, is currently inviting outstanding proposals for our 2018 conference programme. This presents an exceptional opportunity for UK scholars who can demonstrate academic leadership and vision to run one of 6 landmark conferences featuring leading-edge research. 

The British Academy is looking for proposals for conferences that will be pivotal events and of lasting significance in the field: a chance for leading and emerging scholars to examine current and future issues surrounding novel, dynamic, innovative and exciting subject areas in the humanities and social sciences.

Max amount: The Academy covers the cost of administration, catering, preparation of delegates’ packs, and promotional material. A contribution is made to all speakers’, chairs’ and convenors’ travel costs, based on the distance to be travelled to the conference; there is an expectation that participants from well-resourced countries will be able to meet their own travel costs. The Academy also funds accommodation for all speakers, chairs and convenors on the days of the conference.

Conferences take place over two days, between January and December 2018 and should run between 9.45am and 5pm

Discipline(s): Humanities and social science (Proposals of an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary nature are especially appropriate)

Applicant status: UK-based scholar

Application submission: Proposals should be submitted on the appropriate form, which can be downloaded from the top right of this page http://www.britac.ac.uk/node/4262

Projects focusing on cultural and artistic production and creative work. The key word is innovation. This involves the development and trial of new ideas, concepts and processes.

  • The production of works, projects and initiatives that involve a creative process
  • The dissemination of works, projects and initiatives in a variety of contexts
  • Works that create a point where artists, other people involved in culture and audiences can meet

Production-based Activities are any sort of project that revolves around the creative process. Applications are welcome for funding for all phases of the production process: research, production, presentation and distribution. The funding may be used to cover any type of expenditure that is directly associated with the project.

When applying, one of three types of project must be selected:

  • Pre-project
    A pre-project is research to clarify the conditions for completing a larger project. Funding for a pre-project does not automatically lead to funding for the main project. Pre-projects are eligible for full funding up to €13 000.
  • Pilot project
    A pilot project is a trial of a larger project on a smaller scale. The maximum duration of a pilot project is one year. Funding for a pre-project does not automatically lead to funding for the main project. The maximum grant available to a pilot project is €40 000 and the maximum contribution from the Nordic Culture Point is 75 % of the total project budget.
  • Project
    A project must have a clear time frame and budget. A project may last up to three years. The maximum grant available to a project is €100 000 and the maximum contribution from the Nordic Culture point is 50% of the total project budget.
