\nAward 2019. This award provides funding to Italian innovation experts, researchers, scientists,<\/em>
\nstartuppers, creative industries professionals, and innovative individuals<\/em> to undertake a trip to<\/strong>
\nCanada to develop collaborative projects.<\/strong><\/p>\nMission<\/h3>\n
\nCanadian and Italian experts into long-term collaborations. Applications are open to Italian
\nindividuals connected with Canadian counterparts, to be identified by applicants. Ideal outcomes
\ninclude joint publications and projects; student\/researcher exchange programmes; sharing of
\nequipment, materials and facilities; exchange of skills and techniques; institutional linkages; applied
\ntechnology development; creative products and applications, and technology transfer. The
\ndevelopment of innovative models of collaboration is strongly encouraged. Initial outcomes should be delivered over the first 6 to 12 months<\/strong> following the visit and lead to the development of long-
\nterm relationships.<\/p>\nScope & Priority Areas<\/h3>\n
\nbetween leading individuals, researchers and institutions in Italy<\/strong> and their counterparts in Canada.
\nProjects considered for the award must address the sub questions detailed below. These are aligned
\nwith the Government of Canada Policy and with the future challenge areas resulting from an
\nextensive foresight exercise led by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
\n(SSHRC). Please ensure your project responds to at least one of these objectives and sub questions.<\/p>\n\n
\nIf you have an innovative idea, of all sorts, to improve Diversity and Inclusion in our societies, here is an opportunity for its promotion. Be creative!
\nDefinition of Diversity and Inclusion:<\/em>
\nDiversity<\/em> is the range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender,
\ngender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs.
\nInclusion<\/em> means the full and meaningful participation of all people in the social, economic, cultural,
\ncivic and political life of their communities.
\nProjects have to address one of the following objectives:<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>In order to thrive in the 21st century, we all require a deeper understanding of our own societies, including languages, cultures, histories, economic impacts, and processes of integration within our respective countries, between Canada and Italy, and with the world.
\nSub questions:<\/p>\n\n
\nNew technologies are developing at breakneck speed. In order to benefit from, integrate and adapt
\nto these technologies effectively, we need to understand their ethical, environmental, economic,
\nlegal and social implications. The world needs social scientists and humanities scholars to focus on
\nthese questions. By understanding how the latest tools can be used to both answer and ask
\nquestions, we as a society can stay ahead of the curve, mitigate risks and take advantage of
\nemerging opportunities.
\nSub questions:<\/p>\n\n
\nimmigration, migration, urban versus rural lifestyles, societal values and \u201ccarrying capacity of the<\/em>
\nearth<\/em>\u201d with respect to resources, and climate change implications. In this context, what are the
\npotential social, cultural, economic and environmental implications?
\nSub questions:<\/p>\n\n
\nfrom cradle to grave?<\/li>\n
\nconsumption and climate change?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
\nCanada and Italy, like many other countries, are at a tipping point in the way their education
\nsystems, especially higher education, are conceptualized, structured and delivered in light of the
\nknowledge and skills required for the 21st century. Debates are emerging in the research community and other sectors regarding the best way to deliver that learning.
\nSub questions:<\/p>\n\n
\nsystem to create an innovative, resilient and culturally rich society?<\/li>\n
\nsectors, both domestically and internationally?<\/li>\nFunding Scope<\/h3>\n
