Horizon 2020 SSH
  • Introduction
  • Horizon 2020 The Belgian experience
  • Horizon 2020 The SSH experience
  • Whats next?

15
  • Lobbying activities (2011-ongoing?)
  • Common Strategic Framework lobby for strong
    integration of SSH in future FP (no name at the
    time)
  • Presentation of Net4Soc PP at EP
  • Participation to preparatory workshops on
    SSH/H2020
  • Letter to COM official on separation of SSH and
    security challenges in H2020
  • Open letter to MGQ with other orgs on independent
    challenge
  • Found an umbrella organisation for European SSH
    stakeholders European Alliance on Social
    Sciences and Humanities (EASSH)
  • Presentation to MGQ of open letter and Vienna
    Declaration

16
  • Writing
  • 1 Newsletter
  • The voice of SSH in Europe
  • 2 - Success Stories of SSH Impact
  • SSH results shape policy and legislative actions
  • Impact of SSH difficult to measure, low
    visibility
  • Publication of success stories with impact on
    research and policy, society, economy

17
  • Workshop
  • Workshop Learning by doing (Jan 13) Make
    interdisclinarity work (ID)
  • Special focus on SSH
  • Speakers FP6-7 funded projects (cooperation
    programme)
  • Audience of EU officials (relay), research
    managers, scientists
  • Aim identify successful paths for making multi-
    and interdisciplinarity effective
  • Recommendations Advancing ID research is a
    process and a new mindset must be cultivated
  • Will lead to policy briefing, serve as basis for
    Pillar 3

18
  • Intro Disciplines are social constructs but
    (see EPSRC)
  • Idea behind funding the presented projects use
    available results of previous projects and
    integrate disciplines (cohorts, data, analysis of
    a specific region, specific challenge)
  • Some projects managed to create a roadmap on
    future research (eg ageing), draw scenarios on
    global changes, combine different disciplines
  • But other projects had difficulties in
    cooperation, leader, some disciplines
    represented, little flexibility, lack of time
  • Conclusion ID/SSHmarginally present so far (COM)

19
  • The Sixth Challenge, the Seventh cloud, the eigth
    wonder
  • From  Inclusive, Innovative and Secure
    Societies to Europe in a Changing World
    (inclusive, innovative and reflective societies)
    and Secure societies
  • Variations in text from COM proposal to EP to
    Council Budget allocation needs to take into
    account the new structure
  • EP amendments to take out components from
    Challenge 6 (e.g. Cohesion) and put them
    elsewhere

20
  • Vienna Declaration on Social Innovation (Sept
    11) 14 research topics prioritised
  • Europe 2020 Designing research for European
    societies in a changing world (18 Sept 12),
    EP/BMBF
  • Bringing forward interdisciplinary research in
    general but also within the particular SSH
  • Ch Ehler (EP, Rapporteur RfP H2020)
    excellence, increase of COM proposal budget
  • RJ Smits (Dir Gnl, DG RTDI) SSH major role
    change of mind set, examples, make ID work

21
Science Europe SSHPosition Statement Jan 13
  • Embedding Social Sciences and Humanities in H2020
    - Societal Challenges
  • SSH will play an important role (MGQ, RJ Smits)
    but clear strategy needed
  • Recommendations
  • - SSH research and researchers should be properly
    embedded in the decision making about how the
    societal challenges are developed and implemented
  • - A number of SSH cross-cutting themes should
    be embedded in all societal challenges
  • - The budget frame for vital research on social,
    cultural and economic questions must be set
    appropriately
  • - Non-academic partners should be broadly defined
    in H2020
