Call for research proposals

The Hinrich Foundation supports research projects and initiatives that advance understanding of global trade issues and support policy development. While the Foundation’s International Trade Research program promotes research across many sectors, we strive to highlight areas of study that require more attention.

The program's focus areas are: sustainable trade, digital trade, trade and geopolitics, and foreign direct investment (FDI)

We invite researchers and organizations to submit proposals for research, which are considered twice during each calendar year; the deadlines for submission are 31 May and 31 October.

Upcoming deadline for submission: 31 May 2023
