3. ALLEA Horizon 2020 Working Group
for the Humanities & Social Sciences
Federation of All European Academies (ALLEA)
Estb. WG in response to 2011 Green Paper
To ensure that the interests of the HSS are
appropriately represented in the scope,
organisation & funding of the EU programme
Horizon 2020
5. Some thoughts
Clarity in 2014 Work Programmes re. Calls
with HSS relevance is welcome however…
Mainstreaming of HSS requires early stage
intellectual involvement in design of
research questions
6. Some thoughts
Significant changes to key research
structures and supports for Horizon 2020
However…
Waiting to see how HSS mainstreaming is
reflected within H2020 structures, Expert
Advisory Groups, Evaluation Groups etc
7. What could be done?
Short-term responses could include:
Transparency on role of, timetables, and
access points to Expert Advisory Groups
Parity of esteem of HSS and STEM within
Evaluation Groups
Clarity on where responsibility for monitoring
HSS mainstreaming lies
Early reporting on progress in mainstreaming
HSS within 2014 work programmes
8. What ALLEA will do
Insertions and additions to draft 2015 work
programmes (mid 2014)
Engage with Expert Advisory Groups (2014)
Seek greater HSS involvement in design of 2016 WP
Lead trans-disciplinary workshops in 2 – 3 areas to
identify proposals for flagship initiatives for 2016
WP (2014-2015)
Measure HSS success in 2014 & 2015 WP as per
Commission expressed expectations (ongoing)
Encourage its HSS scholars involvement in EAG and
Evaluation Groups (ongoing)
9. What can be done at MS level?
Continued opportunities to work with
National Support Framework in a timely way
to inform MS inputs to Programme
Committees
Build understanding of transdisciplinary
research design, practice etc
Look at role of national funding structures in
setting HSS researchers up to succeed
10. What the Academy will do
Draw on MRIA to provide commentary and input to
draft work programmes on relevant H2020 WPs
Ensure Irish perspectives on H2020 in practice &
future work programmes are heard at European
level through ALLEA
Engagement w/ European Commission stakeholders
Promote dialogue between HSS community &
national support framework
Promote opportunities for HSS scholars
engagement in H2020 structures & processes
