Humanities and culture research
As for grants for research projects in the humanities and culture, the call for proposals is endowed with 150,000 euros. The aim is to encourage research in the field of humanities and culture, for the preparation and writing of research papers, cultural and cultural management projects related to artistic practices or historical and literary essays, among others. Grants are distributed in relation to the following scores of the works (this is the most important novelty of this call):

The projects must be original and unpublished and must be written in Catalan or Spanish. They must also have a minimum length of 60,000 words.
The beneficiaries of these grants may be individuals over the age of 18 who carry out their professional activity in the aforementioned field, as well as groups of researchers, scholars or creators, constituted as a legal entity or community of goods registered under headings linked to research and professional activity in the field of culture and which have been established in the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands for at least two years or which can prove that 50 % of the employment contracts or services contracted have been carried out in the last year in the Balearic Islands or that they carry out more than 50 % of their activity there.
Each applicant may only submit one application for one project. If a beneficiary has already obtained a grant from the IEB from another call for grants to support research projects in the humanities and culture linked to the Balearic Islands, the application may not be submitted until two calls have passed.
The project, which will be evaluated by an assessment committee of prestigious professionals, can obtain a maximum of 80 points, while the trajectory can obtain a maximum of 20 points. However, to obtain the aid a minimum score of 50 points must be obtained for the evaluation of the project.
The IEB will make available to the public for consultation the works that receive the aid, with a prior formal application, both at the IEB’s headquarters and through its website, or through the platforms of scientific dissemination with which the entity may establish agreements for this purpose. Acceptance of the grant and submission of the project implies the authorisation of the beneficiary to carry out this dissemination.
The deadline for submitting applications begins the day after the publication of the call for applications in the Official Bulletin of the Balearic Islands and will be open until 15 June 2023.
The subsidised project must be completed before 15 October 2024.
