Overall objective: “to strengthen the excellence of European research”
 World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s technologies, jobs and wellbeing
 Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
 Researchers need access to the best infrastructures
 Total budget €21.6 billion






Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, nanotechnologies and materials) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors
Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation
Europe needs more innovative SMEs to create growth and jobs
Emphasis on combining enabling technologies to find solutions for societal challenges – particularly energy efficiency targets, sustainability and climate change objectives
Total budget €15.04 billion




Concerns of citizens and society + EU policy objectives

Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences and humanities
 Addressing challenges requires full research & innovation cycle, from research to market
Focus on policy priorities without predetermining technologies or types of solutions to be developed
Total budget €26.2 billion

European Commission:
“The Societal Challenges will bring together different technologies, sectors, scientific disciplines, social sciences and humanities and innovation actors to find new solutions”
“112 of 437 topics in 2014-2015 Work Programme, excluding ‘SC6
– Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies’ can be flagged as
SSH-relevant, representing a share of 25% of all topics”

“SSH will be mainstreamed as an essential element of the activities needed to tackle each of the societal challenges”
 ‘Embedded SSH’ as genuine interdisciplinarity or ‘Dedicated to SSH’ as calling for the “the socio-economic dimension”
 Skills sets necessary
