Thematic Research Project Grants 2004

Theme 1
Research infrastructures in the humanities and social sciences
This priority will seek to respond to the challenges of creating a research infrastructure in the third-level system in Ireland, which will underwrite national capacity for top class research in the humanities and social sciences. Project Grants awarded within this rubric will support the creation and development of datasets, digitalisation of archives, surveys and methodologies.

Theme 2
Identity, culture and society in Europe
This priority will support research in the histories, languages, literatures and cultures of historic and contemporary Europe. It is intended that such research will enhance understanding and knowledge of both diversity and shared cultural and historical heritages among the peoples of Europe. Particular emphasis might be placed on research with a cross-cultural or comparative focus, either within Ireland or Europe more generally.

Theme 3
Innovation and society
This priority will support research which draws on the humanities and social sciences, law and business studies to situate and contextualise economic, social and cultural change consequent on scientific innovation and technological change.

Theme 4
Public policy and social change
This priority will support research which enhances the understanding of public policy in Ireland, and its intersection with the development of economic, political, socio-cultural and legal dimensions of contemporary change and globalisation.
