What future for the SSH in the European Research Area ?EARMA Conference, Vienna, 2013
Are the SSH in danger? • Low participation in EU fundedresearch, littleincentive to apply, despite vibrant researchfields • The SHS may not be in danger, the EU is, ignoringpotential in favour of short termtechnologicalchimera • The danger of excludingsmallness - countries, institutions, disciplines
Defining the SSH • A wide variety of disciplines with different backgrounds and different needs • Europe's forgotten resource in human knowledge • A vast resource - researchers, students, cultural industries, an educated population
Calls and responses • Mobility calls • Networks • ERA Calls • Framework calls
Getting past the barriers • Institutional gatekeepers • From EU to National to Local, genuine recognition of potential and the means to act • Administrative gatekeepers • Knowledge assistance • Strategic assistance • Logistic assistance • Disciplinary gatekeepers • Being allowed to propose and be listened to
The Panelists • Ms. Stephanie Rammel, Austrian Research Promotion Agency and Net4Society • Dr. Thomas Koenig, ERC - Dr. Ioana Galleron, European Unversity of Britanny and EvalHum
What is EvalHum? • An international initiative to promote the research in the Social Sciences AND the Humanities • Gathers researchers in the SSH, involved in European research projects • A website: http://www.evalhum.eu (events, information about research evaluation, blogs…) • A « Quality Chart for the Research in the SSH » (work in progress)
The discussion issues • What impedes a real inclusion of the SSH in the European research funding ? • What can stakeholders do to improve the situation of the SSH within ERA?
