Translated Research Grants 2026

Eligibility:

1. The call is open to researchers working on projects that are relevant to one or more of the programme's five research themes.

2. The official call allows applications from any field of research, provided that the proposed project has a clear connection with the areas supported by the programme.

3. Applicants may submit a standalone research project or propose a project that forms part of an existing research programme.

4. Researchers should demonstrate a clear connection between their research question and at least one of the priority areas.

5. Applicants should ensure that their proposed research is sufficiently developed to explain the problem being investigated, the approach that will be used and the expected contribution of the project.

Benefits:

1. Selected researchers receive research grant support to help develop and implement an eligible research project.

2. Funding can assist with research activities that require specialist resources, data collection, technical development, analysis or collaboration.

3. The programme provides an opportunity to develop research in areas that are increasingly important to academic research and technological innovation.

4. Researchers can explore interdisciplinary questions connecting areas such as artificial intelligence, linguistics, economics, neuroscience, data science and human-computer interaction.

5. The opportunity can support both new research projects and focused components of existing research programmes.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

1. International Research Opportunity: The call is open internationally, making it accessible to researchers working in different countries and academic environments.

2. Interdisciplinary Scope: The five research themes allow researchers to approach language and translation from technological, scientific, economic and human perspectives.

3. Support for Emerging Research Areas: Language technologies, artificial intelligence, machine translation and human interaction with digital systems are rapidly developing fields with growing research applications.

4. Flexible Research Format: Applicants can propose a standalone project or incorporate the proposed research into an existing programme.

5. Career Development: Developing a competitive research proposal can help researchers strengthen their experience in research design, project planning, scientific communication and grant writing.

What Applicants Should Prepare:

1. Research Question: Applicants should clearly identify the problem or question their project intends to investigate.
