Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post Pandemic World (T-AP RRR)

Content:

19 projects explore social and cultural impacts of COVID-19

The Trans-Atlantic Platform (T-AP) for the Social Sciences and Humanities, an unprecedented collaboration between humanities and social science research funders from South America, North America and Europe, is pleased to announce the 19 awardees of the T-AP Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World (RRR) call.

Researchers expand our understanding of how to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on society thanks to funding for 19 international projects.

The findings of the research aim to support global recovery and renewal, and to enhance the resilience of society in a post-pandemic world.

They are the first jointly-funded projects in the world to investigate the medium-and long-term effects of the pandemic on all aspects of health, social, economic, political, and cultural life in unprecedented detail.

The researchers leaded the projects, worth nearly 14.4 million Euros (approx.£12 million; approx. 16 million USD), from 12 countries across four continents.

The projects were funded by 16 major funders. The participating countries and funding organisations in this call were:

AKA(externer Link) (Finland), ANR(externer Link) (France), DFG(externer Link) (Germany), DLR-PT/BMBF(externer Link) (Germany), FAPESP(externer Link) (Brazil), FRQSC(externer Link) (Canada), HRZZ(externer Link) (Croatia), IDRC(externer Link) (Colombia, Costa Rica, and Peru) MINCIENCIAS(externer Link) (Colombia), NCN(externer Link) (Poland), NRF(externer Link) (South Africa), NSF(externer Link) (USA), SNSF(externer Link) (Switzerland), SSHRC(externer Link) (Canada), UKRI-AHRC(externer Link) (UK), UKRI-ESRC(externer Link) (UK)

The topics covered by the 19 research projects include:

  • building resilient media and ensuring effective pandemic communication in divided societies
  • exploring the effect of the pandemic on inequality in North and South America, and Europe
  • analysing the trajectories, outcomes and sustainability of grassroots innovations and collaborations in marginalised and racialised communities
  • understanding and supporting the recovery needs of socially, politically and physically marginalised communities using creative arts
  • exploring the effects of the pandemic on governance, political participation, gender, and community actions
  • ensuring the resilience of university instruction
  • examining the effects on care work during and after the COVID-19 pandemic

Summaries of the projects are available below.

The projects started in March 2022 onwards and ran from between two and three years.

You also find project websites, project summaries and final White Papers submitted by successful teams as part of the end of project conference in May 2025. The virtual conference brought together the 18 successful projects, their collaboration partners and T-AP funder representatives from across the Atlantic to share research results and to reflect on the Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in Post-Pandemic World (T-AP RRR) call. Across two days, the event facilitated four roundtable discussions(externer Link) and each team provided a short overview of their work, followed by an exchange of ideas and plenary Q&A. Roundtables were moderated by academics from the T-AP Democracy, Governance and Trust (T-AP DGT)(interner Link) call and research teams had submitted project summaries ahead of the event to aid such discussions. It was also an opportunity for T-AP funder representatives to connect with participants via breakout rooms and learn from their experience of working in trans-Atlantic partnerships and with the platform itself.

A huge thank you to all participants, moderators and T-AP representatives for your efforts in making the event a success.

It will provide a major source for comparative research on inequality trends and on how the pandemic has affected them. This project will highlight key differences and commonalities across 17 economies, deepen our understanding of the drivers of inequality and the impact of the pandemic and provide evidence needed to design appropriate policy responses to inequality in the post-pandemic world.

Lead-PI: Christi van der Westhuizen, Nelson Mandela University 

Consortium: Lori Beaman, University of Ottawa; Bhekithemba Mngomezulu, Nelson Mandela University; Paula Montero, Universidade de Sao Paulo; Thabisani Ndlovu, Walter Sisulu University; Lella Nouri, Swansea University 

Summary: Valuable research has been undertaken on current social polarization, weaponization of difference and democratic backsliding. Less common are investigations into everyday navigation and negotiation of diversity in creating conditions for mutual understanding and social recognition. This project will develop local case studies and collaborate in cross-country comparative analyses to understand how local practices of deep equality may provide new frameworks for strengthening democracy, ensuring inclusive governance, and improving trust. The project will craft a conceptual framework incorporative of both South and North epistemologies to enable mutual learnings about alternative practices that repair sociality towards greater trust and inclusion, despite the erosion of confidence in political representation and the legal system of producing justice. The investigation extends to digital practices to understand how digital and social media play a role in practices of 9 deep equality particularly by exploring agency, community and sociality in online discourses related to each local context and through a separate case study which focuses specifically on social media activism in the UK.

Summary: The project seeks to uncover and understand the matrix of care provision that is fragmented and uncoordinated, and the resultant overlapping, inconsistent and at times competing polices and regulations shaping care work and its provision at different levels of governance. Rebuilding a robust and more resilient care organization requires a comprehensive understanding of the care economy and entails learning from innovative initiatives in different countries.

End of Project Conference

On 15th and 16th May 2025, Trans-Atlantic Platform (T-AP) coordination team was delighted to host the virtual end of project conference for its third joint call Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World (T-AP RRR). The event brought together 18 successful projects, their collaboration partners (stakeholders), funders’ representatives and invited guests to pursue the following aims:

  • To explore the key findings/outcomes of the funded projects.
  • To provide a forum for discussion and reflection on working in Trans-Atlantic partnerships.
  • To offer a space to provide constructive feedback to T-AP supporting funders to continuously learn and improve the processes and delivery of T-AP future calls.

You can access project summaries and final white papers of the project teams in the list above. Recordings of the event are available via YouTube below.

Roundtable Discussions

Across the two days, four roundtable discussions were organised, each moderated by an academic from the Democracy, Governance and Trust(externer Link) call. The roundtables began with Project Leads sharing key insights about their work for 5 minutes before facilitating an open discussion among the project teams to ask questions and exchange ideas. The discussions were then followed by a plenary Q&A. To aid these discussions, project teams were asked to submit a summary of their findings(externer Link) ahead of the event.

Recordings of the roundtable discussions are available for viewing via YouTube using the links in the following table:

Researchers were invited to give a presentation to fellow researchers, funder representatives and invited guests and to participate in a series of Q/A and discussion sessions led by researchers from previous successful T-AP projects. The networking event’s main aims were to:

  1. Offer a forum for discussion and exchange of knowledge/ideas/progress between the portfolio of the funded projects.
  2. Identify synergies and opportunities for collaboration between the funded projects.
  3. Establish working relationships between the researchers of the funded projects.
  4. Facilitate long-lasting interaction and forge new links between the funded projects.

T-AP would like to  thank all of the presenters, discussion moderators, funding partners and contributors for helping the make this event  inspiring and engaging.
