EASSH General Assembly is confirmed on 6 November 2020. The Director General of Research and Innovation of the European Commission Jean Eric Paquet has accepted to address the members at the opening of the event. Agenda and documents relative to the meeting have already been circulated privately to the members. If you are a member of EASSH and you have not yet received an invitation or the agenda for the meeting, please contact us as soon as possible. The registration is open until Friday 23rd October 2020.

They consider that the current budget discussion does not recognise the crucial place of the societal dimension across all clusters and does earmark insufficient resources for the Cluster devoted to SSH-driven societal issues.
