Welcome to HERA - Humanities in the European Research Area
HERA – Humanities in the European Research Area - is a partnership between 21 Humanities Research Councils across Europe and the European Science Foundation (ESF), with the objective of firmly establishing the humanities in the European Research Area and in the European Commission Framework Programmes. HERA aims at linking national programmes and launching joint research programmes dealing with all-encompassing social, cultural, political and ethical developments.
In 2009, HERA launched first Joint Research Programme (HERA JRP) with a total budget of €16.4 M. It is currently funding 19 transnational projects under two themes “Cultural Dynamics: Inheritance and Identity” and “Humanities as a Source of Creativity and Innovation”. To know more about the funded projects please click here.
In early 2012, HERA will launch its second HERA Joint Research Programme under the theme "Cultural Encounters". With up to € 18 M available, the research programme will fund new and exciting humanities-centered projects involving three or more scholars based in the HERA JRP participating countries.
