• Pluri-disciplinary: Projects are pluri-disciplinary and they can include disciplines from both the social and natural sciences.

Thematically, submissions can be made in one of the following sections:

• General call: In any area of International Studies as defined above.
• Special theme 2023: Multiple and interlocked threats to human - centered development: innovative approaches and governance mechanisms for prevention and mitigation
