Description
CIFAR’s third Global Call for Ideas is soliciting proposals for new CIFAR programs related to "The Future of Being Human". New program proposals should explore the long term intersection of humans, science and technology, social and cultural systems, and our environment. The understanding of the world around us, and new insights into individual and societal behaviour, have the potential to provide enormous benefits to humanity and the planet.
CIFAR invites bold proposals from researchers at universities or research institutions that ask new questions about the complex emerging world. We are confronting challenging problems that require a diverse team incorporating multiple disciplines (potentially spanning the humanities, social sciences, arts, physical sciences, and life sciences) to engage in a sustained dialogue to develop new insights, and change the conversation on important questions facing science and humanity.
CIFAR is committed to creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. CIFAR welcomes proposals that include individuals from countries and institutions that are not yet represented in the research community.
