Dilemmas

Literacy

Dilemmas

Humanities' research and education will increasingly depend on people who know how to read and write programming languages.

Resist or Embrace?

Organization

Dilemmas

Traditional knowledge institutions are rapidly losing their monopoly on education and research.

Resist or Embrace?

Numbers

Dilemmas

Future education and research should revolve around massive numbers (Big Data, MOOC)

Resist or Embrace?

Elite

Dilemmas

Coding and knowledge production remain privileges of a cultural, technological and economic elite?

Resist or Embrace?

Small projects for one researcher that last between 3 to 6 months. KIEM projects are meant to prepare larger grant applications and sustainable partnerships

Subprojects

All

Embedded Research

Collaboration

Medium-sized projects for a small team of reseachers and at least on private or public partner. Projects last for 4 to 5 years. The public and private partners have to match 25% of the funding.

ERC

Collaboration

Large scale projects for a consortium of at least 3 academic, public, and private partner. Projects last for 4 to 5 years. Platforms for Education and Inclusion seems to be most logical fit for us. The deadline, however, is April 29.
