IMISCOE Seed Funding for research clusters - Call for Proposals - Deadline: December 1st.

IMISCOE encourages scholars from the network to explore new opportunities for research, collaboration and publications. Therefore, it provides seed funding to the development of new research (by developing research proposals), joint publications or other activities around specific topics or new niches of research.

Existing successful research clusters and standing committees are also encouraged to apply if they can clearly identify why further support from IMISCOE is needed for new activities. For more information on IMISCOE standing committees and research clusters, see www.imiscoe.org.

SUBMIT A BOOK PROPOSAL TO THE IMISCOE-SPRINGER SERIES

How to submit:
All manuscripts submitted to IMISCOE for consideration, will be submitted to a two-round review procedure. First, to be considered for publication in the IMISCOE-Springer Research Series, all manuscripts must be formally proposed to the IMISCOE Editorial Committee. This will provide an opportunity to see how the manuscript fits within the series as a whole and if submission of the full manuscript for a formal review would thus be relevant. Proposals must be formatted according to the standard IMISCOE outline.
Authors can submit this five-page document, saved as a pdf file, by email to Warda Belabas
