Dr hab. Jakub Urbanik from the University of Warsaw will perform a project under Weave-UNISONO together with researchers from Germany and Austria. The Polish research team will receive a grant of nearly 150 thousand zlotys for their work on the documents from Roman Empire period.
Dr hab. Jakub Urbanik from the University of Warsaw in tandem with Prof. Rudolf Haensch from the German Archaeological Institute and Prof. Thomas Corsten from the University of Vienna will carry out a project focused on a complete edition of the imperial correspondence preserved as edicts and letters and collected by the Corpus of the Documents of the Roman Rule (Corpus der Urkunden der römischen Herrschaft, CURH). The documents will be available to a much wider public than before by completing each document with a translation, and a thorough historical, legal and philological commentary. The project will extend our knowledge of the history of Roman administration and emperor’s communication with his subjects.
The proposal was evaluated by the German Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the evaluation results were approved by the National Science Centre and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
Weave-UNISONO
The Weave-UNISONO call is the result of multilateral cooperation between research-funding agencies associated in Science Europe and aims at simplifying the submission and selection procedures for research proposals that bring together researchers from two or three different European countries in any discipline of science.
The selection process is based on the Lead Agency Procedure (LAP), under which only one partner institution is responsible for merit-based review and the others simply accept the result.
Under Weave, partner research teams apply in parallel to the lead agency and their relevant domestic institutions. Their joint proposal must include coherent research programmes and clearly spell out the added value of international cooperation.
The Weave-UNISONO call accepts proposals on a rolling basis. Polish teams wishing to partner up with colleagues from Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium-Flanders are encouraged to carefully read the call text and submit their funding proposals.
