Results in brief

Collaborative Research Fellowships for a Responsive and Innovative Europe

The conclusions of the actions are that the CAROLINE programme intended to fund up to 50 experienced researchers. Overall, 51 experienced researchers were awarded the fellowship. In June 2021, the CAROLINE programme was extended by a further 12 months (from 60 months to 72 months, with additional reporting duties on month 60). This facilitated two maternity leaves, which extended the funding period of the two fellows concerned by one year. Furthermore, the extended period was used to accommodate the no-cost extensions granted to CAROLINE fellows, as a mitigation measure against Covid19. All final reports have been submitted and have reported dissemination and publication activities. Two hundred and twenty-three publications were published in open access publications with a further 77 publications held in institutional repositories. There was over 850 various dissemination activities conducted by the fellows with an aim of disseminating their projects. Activities included organisation/participation of a conference and workshop and several outreach events. Many of the fellows promoted their projects and outcomes through the media channels and many have appeared on the National TV and Radio Networks RTE and BBC Ulster, and international TV Networks such as Arraing TV.

Project objective

The CAROLINE Fellowship Programme proposed by the Irish Research Council (IRC) will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to further develop their skills, competencies and experience through inter-sectoral collaboration with NGOs and International Organisations (IO). Proposals will be invited from all disciplines that speak to the overarching theme of global sustainable development as set out under the United Nations 2030 Agenda for shared economic prosperity, social development, and environmental protection. CAROLINE will fund 50 experienced researchers across two modes; International Fellowships (three-year) and Irish Fellowships (two-year). The IRC, a national agency, funds excellent research across all disciplines. Unique aspects of CAROLINE include the European and global resonance of the overarching research theme, the inclusion of NGO and IO partners with the host research performing organisations, flexibility in secondments, comprehensive approaches to equal opportunities and gender aspects, and dedicated core training and career support activities. Research outcomes and activities of the CAROLINE Fellows will benefit Europe, given the significance of the theme to Europe 2020, e.g. in employment, climate change and energy, education, and poverty reduction. CAROLINE will deliver experienced researchers with enhanced skills in inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary research and better access to a wider set of future career opportunities. The IRC has built an impressive array of support for this proposal from stakeholders in Ireland, Europe and internationally, including research performing-organisations, NGOs, IOs and other partners.
