Introduction The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Science & Technology Fund (STDF) are pleased to announce a joint call for Research Networking projects addressing the theme of Preserving Egypt s Cultural Heritage: Mitigating Threats for a Sustainable Future. 1
2 Funding of up to 80,000 per proposal is available and proposals should have a duration of between 6 and 9 months. Awards will be funded through the Newton Mosharafa Fund: This is a five year programme that aims to strengthen research and innovation partnerships between the UK and Egypt. This call is funded by the Egyptian STDF ( and the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. III. Context The perception of Egypt s cultural heritage both in Egypt and globally is overwhelmingly dominated by the physical remnants of the pharaonic era, principally at archaeological sites and museums. Yet cultural heritage comprises all aspects of anthropogenic activity in Egypt, from prehistory to the present, and includes (but is not limited to) archaeological sites, building, objects, built or altered landscapes and environments, film, literature and performance arts. A workshop help in Cairo in October 2015 explored key major threats and challenges to Egypt s cultural heritage and identified where opportunities for future collaborative work and projects might lie. Over two days discussion was focussed on the following themes: Archaeology, Conservation and Tourism Museums, Public Displays and Revenue Opportunities Community Engagement, Tangible and Intangible Heritage The Digital World: Opportunities and Challenges Legal, Governmental, Environmental and Security Challenges for Preserving Cultural Heritage: the Egyptian and International Perspective IV. Aims of the Call A. Scope The aim of this Research Networking call is to allow researchers in the UK and Egypt to build networks and partnerships that will explore and develop key issues arising from the workshop held in October It is hoped that these awards will stimulate debate and result in a variety of concrete outcomes in response to the key challenges raised at the workshop (see below); build partnerships between academic and non-academic communities in response to these challenges; deploy methodologies grounded in 2
3 difference disciplines; leverage the skills of partner institutions in Egypt and the UK; and lead to the development of longer-term and larger scale collaborative research projects between researchers in Egypt and the UK. Proposals should address one of the following five themes. Archaeology, Conservation and Tourism Museums, Public Displays and Revenue Opportunities Community Engagement, Tangible and Intangible Heritage The Digital World: Opportunities and Challenges Legal, Governmental, Environmental and Security Challenges for Preserving Cultural Heritage: the Egyptian and International Perspective At the workshop in Cairo discussion focussed on the spaces (physical or virtual) that these themes emphasise where cultural heritage is at risk, whilst also being spaces in which research and projects could meaningfully deliver progress towards mitigating threats. Within these themes the following research questions were identified as being of particular importance: How can communities rural, urban and outside Egypt be better engages with the layered, tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Egypt? Can the University, Antiquities and Culture sectors provide effective educational support to complement somewhat limited school curricula? Can training, capacity building and University courses provide the next generations with a better set of skills for enhancing the preservation of Egypt s cultural heritage? Cultural resource management and museology are priority areas. More effective risk and disaster management is an urgent need. How can innovative documentation and sire or monument protection projects, alongside a revised regulatory and procedural framework, support the preservation of cultural heritage and an improved sharing of information to key stakeholders and audiences? How could adaptive re-use, economic opportunities and collaboration with the private, corporate and charitable sectors better support the preservation of cultural heritage? Projects should seek to explore sustainability, impact and legacy across one (or more) of the five themes and may also wish to take account of the research questions above. 3
4 Please note that these areas and research questions are not exhaustive and are suggestions intended to stimulate research ideas. B. Additional Requirements Each proposal must have a Principal Investigator (lead researcher) in the UK and Egypt. The Principal Investigator in each country will take responsibility for the intellectual leadership of the project and for the overall management of the activities taking place in their country. The Principal Investigator in the UK will be responsible for submitting a joint proposal via the Research Council s Joint Electronic Submission system (Je-S). At least one of the Principal Investigators must have attended the workshop in Cairo in October If you did not attend the workshop but would like to apply for a grant, please contact newton.mosharafa@britishcouncil.org, and we ll try to connect you with a suitable partner. An individual researcher can be named as a Principal Investigator on one proposal only but can be named as a team member on other proposals, so long as they can commit a sufficient amount of time to the projects they would be involved with. As the UK funds for this call come from the Newton Fund, all proposals must demonstrate how they meet Official Development Assistance (ODA) requirements. Further details on ODA can be found here: V. Eligibility UK applicants must meet standard AHRC eligibility criteria: please see section three of the AHRC s Research Funding Guide for information: Egypt applicants Egypt STDF applicants must have a PhD or equivalent research experience and hold a permanent or fixed-term contract in an eligible university or research institute in Egypt, which must span the duration of the project. (Eligible institutions include public or private universities or research centres which are Egyptian legal entities. Please note, the AUC and the Arab Academy are not eligible) Non-eligible organisations (such as NGOs or the AUC/Arab Academy) can participate in the research as associate partners, but cannot be the PI and cannot receive grants. 4
5 Applicants may hold this fellowship and a maximum of one other STDF grant at the same time. Applications cannot be accepted from researchers in commercial organisations. Collaborations should focus on a single project involving the overseas-based researcher and a UK-based researcher Contact between the Egyptian Applicant and the UK-basedapplicant prior to the application is essential. This contact should lead to a clearly defined and mutually beneficial research project proposal. VI. Guidance on Costs and Project Timescales Costs should be split into a UK and Egypt budget; eligible costs for each budget are listed below. Please use the Justification for Resources attachment to clearly differentiate which costs are being charged to the UK budget and which to the Egypt budget. All costs (for both the UK and Egypt budget) should be justified in the Justification for Resources attachment. Funding of up to 80,000 per proposal is available and applicants should aim for the total of the UK and Egypt budgets to be as equal as possible in value. We recognise that there will be some variance in costs but applicants should aim for the budgets for both countries to be balanced as far as possible. A start date of no later than 1 st February 2016 should be entered onto the Je-S form. We recognise that some projects may be subject to delays.. Should a delayed start date be necessary the AHRC and STDF will negotiate this with the award holders. For the purposes of the application stage please enter a start date no later than 1 st February Eligible costs for UK researchers (AHRC guidance applies): networking activity including travel and subsistence for the UK Principal Investigator, any UK Coinvestigators and UK network participants to attend project-related events both in the UK and Egypt; organisation of seminars/conferences/networking events taking place in the UK; other costs for the UK researchers involved that are essential for the delivery of the project and are eligible according to standard AHRC guidance (see section 2 of the AHRC s Research Funding Guide: Salary costs for the UK Principal Investigator can be included for the time spent overseeing and providing intellectual input to the activities, the cost of setting up and coordinating the activities (for example the salary costs of a coordinator) along 5
6 with associated Indirect and Estates costs. Time spent by the Principal Investigator on the coordination of the activities is not expected to form the majority of the cost of the proposal. The salary costs of other UK network participants cannot be included. UK Coinvestigators can be included but please note that they must have a role in assisting the Principal Investigator with the management and leadership of the project; if they do not meet this requirement they should be included as a network participant. Costs for the UK budget should be included on a full economic cost (fec) basis with the AHRC meeting 80% of the fec. Please enter the UK costs only onto the Je-S form. A separate attachment should detail the Egypt costs (see below). Eligible costs for Egyptian researchers (STDF guidance applies): Costs for Egyptian researchers can include: Salary for the Egyptian researcher Research costs in Egypt Operational costs (venues, accommodation etc) for events held in Egypt Travel (inc to the UK) Subsistence/accommodation when travelling to the UK (based on STDF s standard per diem rate) A separate attachment should be completed to show the Egypt budget and attached to the Je-S form (a template is provided at annex 1).
