The Research Mission (MiRe) of the Directorate for Research, Studies, Evaluation, and Statistics (Drees), in partnership with the National Institute for Youth and Popular Education (INJEP) and the National Suicide Observatory (ONS), is launching a call for scientific research proposals (APR) titled“Rethinking Mental Health: From Psychological Distress to Suicidal Behavior.” Each project may apply for funding ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 euros.

Calenda Announcement 1,417,601 (excerpts) 

Game in Lab is a program that supports the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge about board games and their benefits on an international scale. Game in Lab’s mission is based on three pillars: supporting research, disseminating scientific knowledge, and organizing events to bring together academic communities, board game enthusiasts, industry professionals, and the general public.

As part of its mission to support scientific research, Game in Lab organizes an annual international call for proposals to fund scientific research projects on board games.

We therefore invite international research teams to submit a project proposal on any research topic related to board games in the broadest sense.

Both disciplinary and interdisciplinary proposals are accepted—whether in basic or applied research—from any institution whose primary mission is scientific research. The call for proposals is open until September 25 to researchers from France and abroad.

Hello everyone,

 I am sharing an opportunity that may be of interest to researchers working on issuesofdemocratic erosion, democratic resilience, and/or participatory foresight.

 The goal is to form a partnership to respond to a European call for proposals, in collaboration with the Changing Role of Europe research group at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.

 You will find the original message in English below. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Remmelt de Weerd directly at the email address provided in the message. Please let me know if you reach out to him.

Best regards,

Please share this call for a researcher specializing in democratic erosion and/or participatory foresight with your institution.

Thank you!

In response to a Terms of Reference (ToR) from the research platform of a pan-European political party, we are seeking to collaborate with an experienced researcher to develop a project proposal. The expertise sought includes one or both of the following:

• Democratic erosion and democratic resilience in relation to European democracy
• Participatory foresight, scenario development, and/or backcasting methodology

The project aims to contribute to strengthening democratic resilience in Europe. The proposal is to be developed in collaboration with the Changing Role of Europeresearch group at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The budget is limited to 25,000 EUR (the division among partners is to be agreed upon).

Activities are expected to begin in November 2026.

Interested researchers can contact Remmelt de Weerd (R.J.deWeerd@hhs.nl) for full details of the Terms of Reference (ToR).

1.2 Preliminary contact with Mission Europe Recherche (MER) regarding this project

The Diplomatic Archives Directorate aims to bring diplomacy closer to the French public by developing initiatives that enable professionals in the archival and library fields to diversify their audiences and organize networking events through this project. To achieve this goal, the Directorate of Diplomatic Archives is launching, for the first time during the 2026–2027 academic year, a call for applications to host young researchers in the humanities and social sciences as residents.

(…)

Since the residency is based solely on the exchange of knowledge, it does not entitle participants to any stipend or compensation, as it is not an employment contract.

The Campus Condorcet Public Institution (EPCC), the Maison des Sciences Humaines et Sociales Paris Nord (MSH Paris Nord), and the Seine-Saint-Denis Departmental Council are launching, for the first time, a joint call for projects, with a budget of €30,000, intended to support research in the humanities and social sciences on regional issues.

Seine-Saint-Denis is a region undergoing significant urban, social, economic, and environmental changes. These changes are accompanied by a strong momentum of initiatives led by public authorities, nonprofit organizations, citizens, and the business sector, making the department a prime setting for social innovation, experimentation, and the renewal of public policy practices. Issues related to ecological transitions, reducing inequalities, education, health, mobility, and intercultural dynamics play a central role here.

This call for proposals is therefore intended to support research, participatory research, or research-creation projects in the humanities and social sciences that focus on territorial dynamics and the analysis of public action, and to promote the exchange of knowledge between the academic community, local stakeholders, and residents. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to developing a research hub rooted in its local community, in alignment with the public policies that serve it.

The 2027 call for proposals is open until October 15, 2026.

Calenda Announcement 1 411 796 (excerpts)

This joint call for projects aims to generate a research dynamic focused on the production of the urban landscape through culture, and, in turn, to examine how territorial challenges, here and elsewhere, are redefining cultural projects in the contemporary city. It invites researchers from all backgrounds, potentially in collaboration with other stakeholders, to propose projects—whether in the Plaine Commune area or elsewhere—related to this theme, which examines the past, present, and future of urban spaces as cultural productions.

The Maison des sciences humaines et sociales Paris Nord is a research and support unit under the auspices of the CNRS, Paris 8 University and Sorbonne Paris Nord University. As a member of the national network of MSHs, it launches an annual call for projects on issues corresponding to its research areas and themes. This call is open to projects of a high scientific level, including incubation and risk-taking, and meeting three criteria of the charter of the national network of Maisons des sciences sociales et des humanités: interdisciplinarity, inter-institutionality and internationality.
