Research investment
All FP9 Global Challenges must be more equally resourced
2020-11-23
EASSH calls for equity in investment in research and innovation across all the challenges of the 9th Framework Programme and for the ‘cluster’ on human-social dimensions to be recognised as of equal importance to the investments in technological solutions. In this paper, we suggest that the real driver of research costs is scientific methods, which are no longer specific to a given set of disciplines and scientific enquiries.

Framework Programme

Together, Civil Society Europe (CSE) and the European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities (EASSH) call for an ambitious investment in FP9 for a grand challenge to achieve a People’s Union, covering research addressing EU citizens' main concerns. The paper focuses on three main points:

Research and Innovation Programme
EASSH responds to the Consultation on EU funds in the area of investment, research & innovation, SMEs and single market

Focusing on the EU for Research and Innovation, EASSH supports the Lamy's report claim to double FP9 budget. Research today is 'an essential good and deliver tangible results for EU citizens'. For advanced economies like Europe, investing in research is crucial.

Framework Programme
FP9 ‘s ambitious aims for societal impact call for a step change in interdisciplinarity and citizen engagement
2020-11-20
EASSH greatly welcomes these ideas and trends: the European SSH community, represented by the Alliance, has been a strong champion of “real” interdisciplinarity and of concrete and innovative approaches to citizen engagement at various critical stages in the programme and project cycles.

Framework Programme
FP9 must invest in Research for a Democratic Union and the European Social Dimension
2020-11-19
The European Alliance for SSH calls on the EU to make an ambitious investment in Democracy and the European Social Dimension. The 9th Framework Programme for European research 2021-2027 must address the changing nature of citizenship and democracy.
