Subsidy call for CoCoon: Conflict and Natural Resources

29 September 2009

Within the CoCoon knowledge and research programme, research into conflict and cooperation over natural resources is central. Within this framework, researchers are called to submit their research proposals, working together with NGOs and other relevant parties. This can be done until the end of 3 November 2009.

CoCooN will fund ‘Integrated Projects’. These are projects in which knowledge, research and innovation in policy and practice stand central. The programme is based on specific questions from the South. Through the addition of knowledge and research components, new solutions are expected.
In September, three meetings took place in Asia, Africa and South America, in which interested parties – representatives of NGOs, scientists, etc. – were given the opportunity to meet each other and to form or strengthen consortiums.

More information about the call can be found on the NWO’s online subsidy guide.
