TRANSNATIONAL ACCESS (TNA)

ABOUT ITSERR TNA PROGRAM

ITSERR is the Italian project aimed at strengthening the RESILIENCE research infrastructure. Its highly interdisciplinary approach is designed to meet the evolving needs of the religious studies scientific community by enriching the diversity, quality and innovation of knowledge in this specific domain. The project is developed through the collaboration of humanities scholars (experts in History, Philology and Christian, Islamic and Jewish Studies) and computer engineers.

Through its funded Transnational Access Program, ITSERR offers support and expertise for research stays at leading Italian universities and research centers that preserve relevant collections within libraries and archives of Religious Sciences, together with excellent computer laboratories for the development of Digital Humanities.

European and non-European scholars and doctoral students whose research is conducted in the field of religious studies or computer science – particularly for the development of software and tools for Digital Humanities – are invited to apply for a funded research grant to visit the special libraries, collections, archives and computer labs of the ITSERR TNA hosts.

ITSERR TNA fellowships are funded by NextGenerationEU – National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza, PNRR) and awarded on a competitive basis, based on specific eligibility criteria.

GOALS

ITSERR TNA represents a concrete service for the development and enhancing of the research in Religious Studies by offering the possibility to the TNA fellows to organize their stay within the ITSERR partners facilities.

The programme is funded by NextGenerationEU – National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza, PNRR) and it allows scholars or teams researching on Religious Studies to spend approximately from 1 week to 1 month at one of the ITSERR Italian nodes of the project and benefit from their facilities. The funded TNA for teams is a specific feature of ITSERR, as it gives the opportunity for a collaborative improvement of knowledge between research teams from different countries.

ITSERR TNA also provides a unique match-making service, by matching TNA scholars with relevant specialists on site, who can offer a tailored expertise and promote networking.
