The future of the Social Sciences and Humanities in Europe: collected LERU papers on the SSH research agenda

I Stock 000022012494

This paper includes seven separate notes by various authors on Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) research within the societal challenges of Horizon 2020, all written in the period March-June 2013 before the final Trialogue approval of Horizon 2020. Furthermore, this paper includes a statement and agenda for ethics research in Horizon 2020 (April 2013) and a statement on possible research for a resilient and dynamic Europe in a globalised world (July 2013).

By bundling these notes LERU puts forward the most urging questions that SSH research will need to address in the coming years and hopes that it provides a comprehensive and united thought piece on SSH research, which will make a useful contribution in the formulation of European research policy in Horizon 2020 and beyond.
