Formentera renews commitment to scientific research

foto consell premsaThe departments of culture and patrimony of the Formentera Council announce a call for applicants for the administration's 2018 research grant. As in years past, the winning arts, humanities or social science project will be picked through a process of selective review and receive €6,000 in funding.

On Saturday June 16, the announcement was published along with terms and conditions on the Balearic Islands' official gazette, BOIB. Would-be candidates, whether individual researchers or groups operating under a coordinator, have thirty natural days to submit an initial application.

Applications must note project title, description, theoretical basis and research methodology, as well as the motivating objectives, a plan of study and anticipated expenditures.

At the end of the application period, a review committee made up of several individuals will evaluate projects based on scientific interest, coherency, methodology and each researchers' professional experience. The committee's suggestions will serve as the basis for the proposal and subsequent resolution formulated by a cabinet committee.

Last year prize money went to an anthropologically-focused study of human remains at sa Tanca Vella byzantine necropolis. The research team, from Barcelona's Universitat Autònoma, included coordinator Dr Maria Eulàlia Subirà de Galdàcano, Dr Núria Montes Salas and Dr Diego López Onaindia.

Now in its seventh year, the research grant stands as a symbol of the Council's firm commitment to research and the development of scientific knowledge concerning Formentera.
