Ignacia Perugorría and Camilo Tamayo Gómez (University of Huddersfield, UK) have been awarded a grant funded by the UK Government’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, as part of a call launched by The British Academy, with the support of The Royal Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Royal Academy of Engineering. The British Academy is the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences, investing in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas.

The aim of this call is to “pump prime” international collaborations led by UK-based institutions, in consortium with researchers from European Union and Associated Countries, in order to lay the groundwork for future competitive proposals within the Horizon Europe framework. The call is open to all disciplines, including engineering, natural sciences, medical and health sciences, humanities, and social sciences.

The title of the project submitted by Ignacia and Camilo is: Bodies, Memories, and Technologies of Justice (BMTJ): Citizen-Led Transmedia and Forensic Strategies for Post-Conflict Reconstruction in Colombia, the US/Mexico Border and the Basque Country.
