ABOUT THE PROJECT.
SSH CENTRE (Social Sciences and Humanities for Climate, Energy aNd Transport Research Excellence) engages directly with stakeholders across research, policy, and business (including citizens) to strengthen social innovation, SSH-STEM collaboration, transdisciplinary policy advice, inclusive engagement, and SSH communities across Europe, accelerating the EU’s transition to carbon neutrality.
Our project addresses this challenge supporting cross-sectoral collaborations and empowerment of citizens and networks towards the development of socially innovative solutions for the EU’s climate transition.
ACTIVITIES.
SSH CENTRE is based in a range of activities related to Open Science, inclusivity and diversity – especially with regards Southern and Eastern Europe and different career stages – including:
- Development of novel SSH-STEM collaborations to facilitate the delivery of the EU Green Deal
- SSH knowledge brokerage to support regions in transition and
- The effective design of strategies for citizen engagement in EU R&I activities. Outputs include action-led agendas and building stakeholder synergies through regular Policy Insight events.
This is captured in a high-profile virtual SSH CENTRE generating and sharing best practices for SSH policy advice, overcoming fragmentation to accelerate the EU’s journey to a sustainable future.
