Coimbra Group and leading R&I organisations call for a truly interdisciplinary FP10
02 December 2024
At this critical moment in history, the EU needs to fully endorse research in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), the European comparative advantage in global science. Coimbra Group joined other key R&I stakeholders in issuing a common statement urging the European Commission, the European Parliament and the EU27 Member States to endorse the crucial role of the SSH in the forthcoming EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10). Together, we call for
- A European funding programme for R&I that:
- (a) places researchers representing all disciplines at the heart of all aspects of its decision making processes;
- (b) is inclusive of all disciplines; and
- (c) invests more in SSH research that encourages innovation, shapes markets and environments for sustainable transformation and societal well-being.
- Strengthening the full integration of SSH disciplines in the implementation of EU R&I investments.
- Dedicated funding for SSH in FP10 to address the major threats and opportunities of Europe, from innovation to sustainable and inclusive growth.
