The specificities of international level evaluation of collaborative, transdisciplinary research: EUROCORES ProgrammeBOREAS: Histories from theNorth – environments, movements,narratives Piers Vitebsky Cambridge University The Chair of the Review Panel and of the Scientific Committee of BOREAS PHOENIX Workshop “Road to excellence: Research evaluation in SSH” in Kyrgyzstan 21-22 May 2007
Priorities for research • BOREAS places a strong emphasis on fieldwork and other evidence-based methods such as archival research. • The aim is to form wider archive of data, necessary for new approaches to problems of space and time, as well as synergies with other empirical domains of research in the social, natural and medical sciences. • All scientific domains are invited to reflect upon their approaches to studying the Arctic.
Specific Research Areas • Human ecology of time and space: change and movement. • Socio-economic and political impacts: governance and sovereignty, industrialisation and subsistence. • Local responses: vulnerability and resilience. • Representations: histories, language, identity. • Philosophies.
Outline Proposals criteria: • Suitability for the Call for Proposals • Originality and novelty of the proposal • Level of international and multidisciplinary collaboration (incl. “European added value”) • Feasibility • Qualification of the applicants.
Full proposals criteria: • Scientific quality of the CRP and IP proposals • Level of multidisciplinary integration within the CRP • Qualification of the applicants (suitability for this CRP; international standing) • Level of collaboration envisaged between the IPs in this CRP • Feasibility, incl. suitability of the methods selected • Overlap with existing projects (or projects applied for) • Suitability of budget items (“value for money”)
