The National Agency for Research and Innovation, in partnership with the Ceibal Foundation , has launched a call for proposals for the Education Sector Fund titled "Digital Inclusion: Education with New Horizons."

According to its guidelines, the program aims to “provide funding for research projects that generate original data in the field of teaching and learning facilitated by digital technologies, which may be linked to social and/or educational aspects of the Ceibal Plan.”

It also specifies that the proposal is aimed at “research groups based at both national and international institutions, whether public and/or private.”

Projects lasting up to 18 months may be funded, although preference will be given to those lasting between 6 and 12 months.

The application deadline is September 15, 2016, at 2:00 p.m.
