Opportunities from Universidad de Costa Rica — UCREA

UCREA invites high-level research teams to submit ambitious, multi- or transdisciplinary projects with a strong international component across the arts, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences. Funding is up to CRC 30,000,000 per project for a two-year period. Proposals must be submitted digitally to esteban.chaves@ucr.ac.cr with a copy to ucrea.apoyo@ucr.ac.cr. The budget may include travel and stays for foreign participants visiting Costa Rica, but does not cover researcher remuneration, consultancy payments or academic workload assignment.

The project coordinator must be a University of Costa Rica researcher and is responsible for budgetary and operational execution. Projects must be team-based rather than individual and should develop innovative, high-level multi- or transdisciplinary research with interinstitutional and international networks. Team members should preferably hold academic master's degrees and the coordinator should normally hold a doctorate, although the UCREA Academic Council may consider experienced research leaders without a doctorate. Coordinators of active UCREA projects may not submit a new proposal until their final report is approved.
