Volkswagen Foundation: Global Issues – Integrating Different Perspectives on Social Inequality (Pre application)

The funding initiative wants to enable collaboration between researchers based in high as well as low and middle income countries that problematise aspects surrounding the development and reproduction of social inequality, especially in light of one of the following aspects:

-Institutions and Networks 

-Resource Distribution and Inheritance 

-Technological Change and Digitalization: Social, Political and Socio-Economic Effects

-Socio-Ecological Processes of Inequality

The Foundations strongly encourage research that moves beyond traditional questions and approaches and significantly advances the current state of the art.

Funding will be provided for small, but strongly interacting research consortia of up to five partners. Besides one partner working at an institution in a European High Income Country (preferably in one of the countries where one of the cooperating Foundations is located), the involvement of two partners currently based in Low and Middle Income Countries is generally required

Funding:  Up to €1.5M for 4 yrs.
