Open Research Area (ORA): A new call in 2019

Pre-call announcement

SSHRC is excited to announce its collaboration in the 6th Open Research Area (ORA) call alongside three European funding organizations: Agence nationale de la recherche in France; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in Germany; and the Economic and Social Research Council in the United Kingdom. The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science is an associate partner.

ORA was created to strengthen international co-operation by funding high quality scientific research projects. The program started as an agreement between research funding agencies in France, Germany, the UK and The Netherlands in 2010.

This pre-call announcement is being issued to allow interested researchers to begin discussions with potential research partners ahead of the formal call for proposals. ORA is due to open in April 2019. The application window for proposals is set to last about three months, with a closing date expected in July 2019.

In this round, proposals need to involve researchers from any three or more participating countries and be integrated across the participating countries. The research should make an original and significant contribution to current scientific knowledge in areas supported by SSHRC.

Stay tuned for the formal call for proposals to be launched on the websites of the participating funding organizations. Details on the previous round can be found online.

On the latest episode of the NEXTcast podcast (available free on Soundcloud and iTunes), we speak with Humber English professors Sarah Feldbloom and Leanne Milech about using multimodal texts as teaching tools.

Leanne and Sarah explain how incorporating multimodal texts into teaching practice can increase student success and engagement, and share the organic process behind their ongoing TIF-supported research.

"I have a background in film, that's what I did for my undergrad, and when I came to teaching, immediately I noticed in my first WRIT 100 class that there was some resistance and some reluctance to the material. My instinct was, 'How can I engage these students?'" - Leanne Milech

Listen to the episode or read the transcript here.

NEXTcast is a podcast about teaching and learning at Humber College, created by Humber Press and The Centre for Teaching & Learning. New episodes go up on Soundcloud and iTunes every second week.

To suggest a future guest or topic, email Humber Press at humberpress@humber.ca.

This 25-panel exhibition aims to raise awareness of the vital role of human rights education in promoting dignity, equality and peace and in preventing human rights violations and abuses. It presents the importance of human rights and human rights education through case studies where human rights education has transformed values, beliefs and attitudes of individuals and groups, leading to positive initiatives to promote human rights in diverse communities in Australia, Burkina Faso, Peru, Portugal and Turkey. It also encourages viewers to take action in their own immediate environment, starting from their own families and communities.

The exhibit was created in 2016 by the Soka Gakkai International, together with HRE 2020, the NGO Working Group on Human Rights Education and Learning and the Platform for Human Rights Education and Training.
