- ‘working situation’
- ‘role of AI’
- ‘cross-national differences and similarities within different welfare systems’
Each proposal must involve a minimum of three eligible applicants from at least three different countries participating in the call.
A maximum of three projects in the UK will be funded.
The deadline for applications is 3pm on the 14th May 2024.
