Social Sciences and Humanities(SSH) research geograhies

Disparities remain

Despite efforts, disparities remain in terms of the participation of SSH researchers in many countries from Southern Europe (SE) and Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) in research collaborations, as compared to Northern and Western scholars.

Overcoming fragmentation across geographies

Projects focussed on sustainability-related (climate, energy and mobility) challenges should overcome fragmentation across geographies (North/ South/ East/ West Europe).

Southern Europe and Central & Eastern Europe researchers' main challenges

This space explores several of the main challenges identified by Southern Europe and Central & Eastern Europe Social Science and Humanities (SSH) researchers and suggests how different institutional actors can better support their staff moving forwards.

This space is intended for:

  • policy officers at the European Commission working on EU Framework Programmes (particularly Cluster 5 of Horizon Europe),
  • funders and research institutions in SE and CEE countries, as well as
  • individual researchers interested in better supporting SSH insights from across the whole of Europe.
