Social Sciences and Humanities

The Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) SWG monitors and assesses the implementation of existing Social Sciences and Humanities RIs, disseminates and shares best practices of Social Sciences and Humanities RIs, and highlights and improves the potential applications in multi-disciplinary RIs. It identifies new important RIs and research demonstrators as well as research needs of pan-European interest in Social Sciences and Humanities, analyses best implementation schemes of RIs specific to these domains, and promotes cross-domain sharing of best practice, standards, and implementation initiatives. It also explores RIs contribution to innovations and knowledge transfer to society.
