Call for Research Projects 2026 “Women and Science”
In 2026, the Women and Science Chair launches its eighth call for research projects, aimed at the entire academic community without any restrictions in terms of disciplines or in terms of methodology (field studies, modeling, empirical studies, experimental approaches, etc.). This year, 5 to 7 research projects will be selected and receive support of up to € 10,000. Projects submitted under this call may address any of the research themes covered by the Women and Science Chair (see below). However, the selection committee will give particular attention to the themes identified as priority areas for the 2026 Call for Projects: Stereotypes and scientific socialization: the mechanisms through which STEM-related stereotypes are formed and reinforced from early childhood and throughout the life course. Women and digital technologies: women’s participation in digital fields and artificial intelligence; the transformation of occupations; gender bias in technological systems; AI and selection/recruitment processes in STEM education and careers; women’s uses and experiences of AI. The role of social media in the gendered construction of scientific aspirations and career choices, as well as in shaping stereotypes related to women and STEM. Pedagogy and knowledge transmission: the role of teaching methods and educational practices in shaping educational choices, promoting inclusion, and fostering scientific aspirations. Analysis and evaluation of public policies and civil society initiatives (in schools, among students, teachers, and other stakeholders) aimed at reducing gender disparities in science, particularly within the framework of the Girls and Mathematics national action plan. Determinants of educational and career choices in scientific fields, including the relationship between study pathways and career aspirations (e.g., remuneration, public versus private sector opportunities, working conditions and work-life balance). Gender, science, and society: health, climate, and societal transitions; the role and representation of women in scientific fields with significant societal impact; and the respective contributions of families, educators, policymakers, opinion leaders, and particularly men, in fostering a more equitable society. Particular interest will also be given to projects involving researchers from different disciplines (management science, sociology, economics, mathematics, etc.) and/or involving international analyzes and comparisons. By submitting an application, project leaders undertake, if they are selected, to participate in one or more events of the Chair, to produce a short video on their work and to write a short presentation of the conclusions of their works (in French or English) accessible to a wide audience.

Publish A Summary of Your Economics Research on INOMICS
We invite economists who are conducting or have conducted research to write a summary of their research and why it’s important, interesting, or unique in the field, and share that article with other economists via INOMICS. This “research summary” article can function as an extended abstract that will help other economists discover your work and learn more about your area of expertise. The tone can be similar to a relatively casual lunchtime conversation with colleagues who are trained in economics but unfamiliar with your work. Please note: We do not publish academic research. However, an article that describes your research and its importance to an audience of early-career economists and economics students is encouraged. Writing a research summary article on INOMICS can help your research reach a broader economist audience, inspire others’ research, broaden your network by reaching others in related areas, and add to your portfolio of written work. Our Goals for Your Submission: You are able to share your research topic and other factors related to it with economists on INOMICS. Economist readers of INOMICS can find interesting articles about recent or upcoming research in economics on the INOMICS Blog, in addition to what’s already been shared on the Blog. You are able to build your portfolio of written work, and develop your reputation among the thousands of readers who use INOMICS. You add to the library of interesting INOMICS content; readers benefit from learning about the interesting topic area. Less experienced readers additionally benefit from learning about your research, evaluation of economics issues, methodology or challenges overcome while researching, etc. Submission guidelines: Articles must be written in English Articles should be at least 1000 word and no more than 2500 words. Use a conversational but intelligent style - short introduction and conclusion, relatively short sentences, informal but intelligent tone (imagine you are speaking to a junior economist colleague or student at lunch hour). Additionally, please send a description of yourself and your academic and/or career credentials, no longer than 300 words, including a photo and a mention of your affiliated institution or your job title. Again, please note: We do not publish academic research. However, an article that describes your research and its importance to an audience of early-career economists and economics students is encouraged. Submission Process: Please send complete article drafts to: mailto:submissions@inomics.com. Articles that match these submission guidelines will be reviewed by a member of the INOMICS editorial board. If your article is of sufficient quality and adds to our content, we will contact you with initial edits, and begin the editing process with a member of our team. This may entail several rounds of edits. The final draft will be reviewed by another member of our editing team, and any last changes will be communicated with the author. Then, the article will be published on INOMICS, and you will be able to share it across your own channels as long as they are linked to the article’s “home” on INOMICS. Finally, contributors whose articles are published will receive a profile page on INOMICS and will have the opportunity to submit further articles for publication on INOMICS in the future. Contact: INOMICS Team submissions@inomics.com +49 30 2084712 50 Terms of Submission: By sending your submission, you guarantee that the submitted research summary article has not been published in part or in full elsewhere (note that this regards the summary written about the research, NOT the research itself). By sending your article submission you agree that INOMICS may publish your research summary article in-part or in-full, or publish an excerpt of your article in a larger content piece (for example a collection of opinions). If your research summary article is published in-full by INOMICS, you agree that in the event that you share or publish the article elsewhere, you will refer/link to INOMICS as the original location of publication for the research summary article (but NOT the research itself). You guarantee that you are the sole author(s) or that you have permission from your co-authors to publish this summary, and you confirm that you need no further permission from other co-authors, employers or funding bodies in order to grant copyright of the article to INOMICS.
Call for Submissions At INOMICS we aim to support economists, their studies, and their careers.

Joachim Herz Award for Early Career Researchers
Are you working on an interdisciplinary research and transfer project into how we can use water smarter? Water is an indispensable resource. It is essential for ecological systems, human health, as well as agricultural and industrial production. However, climate change, overuse, and persistent pollutants threaten the availability of clean water and at the same time turn it into into a potential threat. Addressing these challenges requires innovative approaches that are grounded in excellent scientific research, while also demanding individual risk-taking, societal capacity for action, and entrepreneurial initiative. Call for Applications The Joachim Herz Award supports individuals whose economics-related projects transcend disciplinary boundaries and creatively integrate approaches from other fields in order to develop pioneering solutions into how we can use water smarter. In addition to a distinct connection to the topic of water, the submission should outline – based on the underlying research project – a transfer initiative that advances implementation in business, society, and/or policymaking. The call is open to research projects that apply economic thinking to the sustainable and innovative management of water, while explicitly integrating insights from other disciplines and translating research into practical solutions. Relevant projects may, for example, examine how economic incentives and efficiency mechanisms can be designed to reduce water consumption, such as through efficiency standards or pricing schemes for water-intensive industries. Other projects might focus on water as a public good, exploring innovative governance arrangements, including participatory governance models or multi-stakeholder approaches that improve coordination and accountability across actors. Further research areas include digital and urban innovations that enhance water resilience, such as integrated urban planning concepts like sponge cities that combine technological, ecological, and economic perspectives. Research may also address the financing and governance of nature-based solutions for water management, for instance by developing and evaluating innovative instruments such as water funds or nature credit systems. In addition, projects can focus on innovations that improve water quality and safety, including economic and regulatory approaches to managing persistent pollutants such as PFAS or microplastics. Finally, the call welcomes research on innovation and entrepreneurship in the water sector, for example studies on the emergence, scaling, and impact of start-ups and new business models in the water economy. Funding The Joachim Herz Award is endowed with €500,000. The funding must be used exclusively for the research project described in the application. Eligible expenses include, among others, personnel, material, and infrastructure costs, as well as travel expenses and pre-competitive transfer activities. Institutional administrative overhead costs are excluded. The funding will be transferred to the institution at which the award recipient is employed at the time the award is granted. Selection Process & Award Ceremony Applications are submitted by individual applicants (collaboration partners from academia and practice are welcome). The jury preselects a shortlist of three nominees. The shortlisted candidates present their projects in a pitch at the Joachim Herz Foundation in Hamburg. This is followed by a confidential selection meeting of the jury. The public award ceremony will take place on September 3, 2026, in Hamburg. Prize money: €500,000, project-related for a period of three years. Timeline Online-Info-Session: February 4, 2026, 1:30 p.m. (For registration follow mentioned link) Nomination of shortlist: May 2026 Jury selection meeting including presentation of shortlisted candidates: June 10, 2026 Contact Please direct all inquiries to jhpreis@joachim-herz-stiftung.de.

The EPO offers grants for academic research
Stream A: The new frontiers of innovation (one research area) • Research area 1: From university research to innovation ecosystems This stream calls for projects focussing on the impact of academic research on industrial innovation and the economy. Universities and public research organisations are key actors of today's innovation ecosystems and a major source of scientific breakthroughs with disruptive potential for the economy. Stream B: Digital technologies for IP (two research areas) • Research area 2: Artificial intelligence for IP training and education This stream concerns three interrelated lines of research touching upon methodologies, communication channels and formats that can support IP training and education for the future. They will guide the design of EPO educational programmes while also contributing to IP training and education worldwide. • Research area 3: Artificial intelligence in the domain of patents Patents present intriguing challenges in relation to natural language processing and computer vision, particularly with regard to the diagrams therein. The EPO is therefore interested (i) in raising awareness of the useful of patents as a data source for AI and machine learning; and (ii) supporting research that can add value to the EPO's own projects and tools related to AI and patent processing. Researchers working in the field in IP, economics, technology transfer, innovation management, entrepreneurship, data analytics, data science, computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, education psychology and distance learning are invited to apply now! The call for proposals is open until 15 October 2021.
The EPO has launched a call for proposals under its Academic Research Programme. With a revamped scheme, the EPO will award grants totalling €600 000 for research into the new frontiers of innovation and digital technologies for IP. The EPO will support collaborative research with scientific partner institutions, which can benefit from a wider scope, bigger budget and longer duration. The ARP foresees closer interaction between researchers and staff from across the EPO. Under the programme, grants of up to EUR 150 000 will be awarded per research area in relation to two streams (each with a grant envelope of €300 000).
