First call for proposals in the new GIF Young Scientists' Program
The new GIF Young Scientists’ Program supports young researchers, with
or without a research partner in the other country, for a one-year project,

Proposals may be submitted in one of the following tracks:
- EWS - Early Work in Sustainability: for individual PIs without a research partner in the other country
- CIS - Collaboration in Sustainability: for binational teams of researchers with at least one PI from each country, including at least one young PI.

Sustainability-related
topics in the broadest sense.
Specific research
questions could include renewable energies, climate research, agriculture,
water and waste management; perhaps also civil construction, artificial
intelligence and all the areas that make our life on earth more
sustainable.
We also invite projects

cultural approaches to and the diversity of notions in the discourse on
sustainability.
This also includes
implications of the Covid-19 pandemic.
