 <\/p>\n

To be eligible for funding, project proposals must qualify as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. International studies: Projects carry out research on global issues that are either relevant in the international arena or at least concern multiple countries simultaneously. The SNIS considers that International Studies deal not only with the analysis of international relations, but also with political, economic, social, environmental, legal, health, scientific and development issues.<\/li>\n
  2. Pluri-disciplinary studies: Projects are pluri-disciplinary and they can include disciplines from the social and natural sciences.\u00a0In addition to the above criteria the SNIS strongly encourages collaborations with International Organizations and NGOs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thematically, submissions can be made in one of the following two sections:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. General call: In any area of international studies as defined above.<\/li>\n
    2. Special theme 2013: Global issues in a time of high volatility. The world is currently characterized by many different and interlocking forms of volatility; fluctuating commodity and energy prices, financial crashes, climate change and natural disasters, social and political upheavals such as those witnessed in Libya, Syria and Mali, and mass population movements. How and how effectively is the international community responding to such phenomena? How are the roles \u201cdistributed\u201d between the global, regional and local actors ? How can International Organizations, NGOs and civil\u00a0society contribute to managing volatility?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
