This call invites researchers to submit proposals for exploratory, interdisciplinary research projects that advance the conceptualization of resilience in relation to selected crises—primarily with regard to their societal dimensions.

Projects should initiate structured collaboration with other scientific disciplines and with relevant practitioner communities, and employ methodological approaches capable of anticipating potential future crises.

Funded by the Alpha+ Foundation of the FWF, the Cluster of Excellence EurAsian Transformations is able to make available funding for extended study and research stays in Asia.

The Biesse International Design Award 2026 invites students and emerging designers to develop innovative concepts for objects and furnishings capable of transforming residential and commercial spaces through a multi-material approach.
