The autocratic appeal: nature, drivers and strategies

Funds research projects up to EUR 3.5 million that study why autocratic tendencies are spreading and how to resist them.

Consortia submit a Research and Innovation Action proposal by the single-stage deadline; funded work is expected to take a multidisciplinary approach spanning political science, law, sociology and history, and to engage citizens and civil society directly in the research. Costs are paid as a lump sum agreed at grant signature, and the Commission expects to fund three projects from this topic's bud

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
