Description
The challenge of the Action is to enable the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) to better demonstrate their true place in academia and society. To do so, the Action proposes to bring together different strands of work consecrated to SSH research evaluation, currently under development in different parts of Europe, in order to gain momentum, to exchange best practices and results, and to avoid unnecessary duplication.
A call for three topics has been opened:
- Scholars’ perceptions of research quality and quality criteria
- Developing a typology of impact pathways for social sciences and the humanities
- Comparison of national and regional databases of social sciences and humanities research outcome
Eligibility
- The application of the research to the field of the Action – a detailed work plan will help determine if the scientific aims of the work will be
applicable to the Action’s aims.
- The home institution of the researcher – We will take into account the number of applications from each institution to ensure a fair spread of
researches across the network.
- The experience of the researcher - We will preferentially award STSMs to early stage researchers (PhD + <8 years).
- The publication potential of the research carried out – a short publication plan as part of the workplan, including intended journal, aim/working
title and timescale for submission, will help to identify the most promising research.
- Geographical and gender balance issues will be taken into consideration;
- The research should fit into the host institutions’ research profile.
Budget
Maximum of EUR 2500 in total can be afforded to the grantee.
Deadline: 30 September 2016
