Net4Society Report
▶ Net4Society is an international network of NCPs for
Societal Challenge Six
▶ For every Work Programme, N4S produce a report on
the ‘Opportunities for Researchers from the Socio-
economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in Horizon
2020’
▶ Compiles the EC’s SSH-flagged topics, with SSH aspects
within call texts highlighted in bold
▶ Also identified topics with ‘minor SSH relevance’
▶ Current 2016-17 report can be found here
SSH included in Evaluation
▶ Proposals submitted for topics 'flagged' for
SSH should contain meaningful, integrated
contributions from SSH researchers
▶ Evaluators briefed on how to identify and
evaluate SSH aspects
▶ Evaluation Panels include SSH expertise.

Opportunities for SSH in Excellent
Science▶ The European Research Council is already a major
funding source for investigator-driven frontier research.
▶ Future and Emerging Technologies research to open
new fields of innovation
▶ Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions give opportunities
for greater mobility and network building.
▶ Several major research infrastructures in the SSH are
supported by FP7/H2020: CESSDA, DARIAH, CLARIN,
ESS, SHARE, InGRID.
