9. Integration of SSH in Horizon 2020
•
Supported through the 'Excellent Science' part
of H2020 (ERC, Marie Skłodowska-Curie &
Infrastructures)
•
Integrated in Leadership in Enabling and
Industrial Technologies (LEIT) where relevant
•
Integrated in each of the 7 Societal Challenges
•
SSH play a major role in the Societal Challenge
6: "Europe in a changing world – inclusive,
innovative and reflective societies"
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
10. The role of SSH in excellent science
• The European Research Council (ERC) is
already a major funding source for curiosity
driven frontier research. About 17 % of the
ERC-budget will be allocated to SSH
• Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MCA) give
opportunities for greater mobility and network
building. SSH share of 11-12 %
• Several major research infrastructures in
the SSH are supported by FP7/H2020 :
CESSDA, DARIAH, CLARIN, ESS, SHARE
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
11. Integrating SSH: two approaches
Embedded SSH: All Societal Challenges,
LEIT and activities under Excellent
Science are generally open to SSH
contributions in all their lines of
activity and thus favour 'embedding
SSH' as genuine interdisciplinarity
Dedicated to SSH: In some Societal
Challenges and parts of LEIT it is
delineated a specific SSH line of
activity called 'the socio-economic
dimension of…'
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
12. The role of SSH in industrial
leadership
• Strengthening the cultural and social aspects of
innovation
• SSH as a source of creativity in development of
services and products
• Societal aspects
• Business and management
models
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
13. The role of SSH in the
Societal Challenges
The Societal Challenges will
bring together different
technologies, sectors, scientific
disciplines, social sciences and
humanities, and innovation
actors to find new solutions.
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
14. Integrating SSH - Features
Economic feasibility of the implementation, especially for
the close-to-the market R&I actions
Social acceptability of the new technology/ product/
service (cf. ICT, nanotechnologies, nuclear)
Human behaviours (cf. obesity in Health, savings in
Energy, alternative mobility in Transport)
Values (cf. cultural differences, ethnic issues, religious
backgrounds)
Governance, policy and institutional aspects
Forward-looking dimension (cf. modelling, scenarios)
14
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
15. Integrating SSH – Challenges
In technology-driven topics there is a tendency to
refer to SSH aspects in only a marginal way ( SSH
as add-on not as integral or driving part);
The aim to make the call texts more general and less
prescriptive might be in conflict with the need to draft
texts with the necessary level of detail and reference
to relevant SSH research;
Cultural and practical barriers/academic incentive
system: mono-disciplinarity of training, curricula,
journals, faculty structures;
Policy
Research
and
Innovation
16. Methods of implementation
Horizon 2020 Groups (collegiality, policy & SSH interests)
Guidance notes on the composition of:
External Advisory Groups
Peer review / evaluation panels
Structure of the Calls and Work Programmes with "Scope" and
"Expected impact" directly linked to socio-economic concerns

to develop the Work Programmes
Orientation towards European societal challenges:
research and innovation activities to increase the impact of
the funding
Orientation towards EU political priorities: Europe
2020 and emerging political issues of European relevance
Leitmotiv of the 2 years WP 2014-15: economic crisis
and the path to sustainable growther
=> Focus area in Societal Challenge 6: "Overcoming the
crisis: new ideas, strategies and govnance structures for
Europe"

27. " Topics " of the Work Programme
The structure of each Topic respects the challengebased approach, i.e. 3 key features:
Specific Challenge: Sets the context, the problem to be
addressed, why intervention is necessary
Scope: delineates the problem, specifies the focus and the
boundaries of the potential action BUT without describing
specific approaches
Expected Impact: describe the key elements of what is
expected to be achieved in relation to the specific challenge
Policy

28. The Call topics:
bottom-up in terms of content and budget
Topics are described in a rather open fashion, less
prescriptive than often under FP7, i.e. proposers can address
the topics in a comprehensive way, in a focussed way or cover
other issues relevant for addressing the topic
Call text provides an indicative budget range for research
projects in order to indicate the average expected size of the
proposal; however, any amount is possible, i.e. no eligibility
criteria regarding the budget size

43. Social Platform – background (1/2)
Introduced in FP7 by the Council’s Research Working Party
during the discussions on Theme 8 - SSH.
“For certain issues, use may also be made of social platforms to
discuss future research agendas; these would involve the
research community and societal stakeholders.”
Counterpart to the Technology Platforms,
as a means for civil society
•
•
•
to help determine the research agenda
to tackle complex societal problems, and
to catch different perspectives and involve stakeholders
(policy makers, civil society, researchers, …).
Policy
Research

Innovation
44. Social Platform – background (2/2)
new challenge in the social sciences & humanities:
the platform as a new instrument in the future of SSH
Main objective:
help the EC in identifying new/ fundamental research areas,
together with societal and research stakeholders.
=> The social platform will define a future research agenda,
based on a focussed, critical review of existing research,
and taking account of key policy questions in this context.
Foresight dimension: it will look also at the future of the issue
tackled.
Policy
Research

45. Important features of social platform
Support action - not a research project...
• Average life-span of 18-24 months
=> intensive
• Needed to be operational at short notice => management
• Mix of scientific and policy experience => communication
=> participative aspects are essential.
European coverage and balances - with an open mind…:
•
•
•
•
Geographical balance (Europe and beyond, if relevant),
incl. (if appropriate) balance of “welfare regimes”;
Balance of academic disciplines and methodologies;
Balance of civil society interests and of equal opportunities;
