Ligia -------------------------- Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 17:36:42 +0100 Subject: [evol-psych] European initiative on human origins and language origins The following announcement was made a few days ago by the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB) in Britain. It is relevant to those looking for funding for research into human origins or language origins, particularly in Europe and most particularly in Britain. See the enclosed URL for information about the European Science Foundation's initiative, which is to be supported by the AHRB. 5th July 2001 PRESS INFORMATION EUROPEAN APPROACH FOR ARTS AND HUMANITIES Arts and humanities researchers will now be able to benefit from funding from the European Science Foundation (ESF), thanks to the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB). As part of its strategy to develop research collaborations between U.K. and European researchers, the Arts and Humanities Research Board will support the European Science Foundation's EUROCORES scheme on 'The Origin of Man, Language and Languages'. Although the British Academy had been consulted over the development of the programme, no major U.K. funder had committed to the programme. The AHRB's financial support will mean that U.K. applications falling within the arts and humanities can be funded. This is the first EUROCORES initiative, and it has attracted over a hundred applications from across Europe. The focus is on interdisciplinary research and interest from UK-based researchers has been considerable. "We are delighted to be able to support this programme," said Professor David Eastwood, Chief Executive of the AHRB. "This EUROCORES initiative promises to fund research of the highest quality as well as building interdisciplinary research collaborations." An international panel of peer reviewers will consider applications, and highly graded applications involving UK-based researchers will be considered by the AHRB's research committee. Successful projects will be funded for three years. "This demonstrates the AHRB's commitment to enhancing the research base of the U.K. and building innovative collaborators within the European research area," commented Professor Eastwood. 'We have already promoted the case of the Arts and Humanities in the context of Framework Programme VI, and we will build still closer links with the European Science Foundation."
