Dear <<First Name>>,
In this edition of ISSUES e-magazine, we focus on the subject of Humanities and Arts research in the upcoming EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme, Horizon Europe. In particular, attention is given to the importance of integrating the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences in the research approaches taken by EU-funded projects to address large-scale societal issues affecting Europe. To do so, we present a collect of three interviews which seek to shed light into this process and how it the integration of these disciplines can eventually be improved.
The first interview is with Professor Jane Ohlmeyer and Dr Doireann Wallace of Trinity College Dublin, the coordinators of SHAPE-ID, an EU-funded project focused on improving SSHA processes at the European-level.
The second interview showcases the thoughts of Professor Joanna Sofaer and Professor Tony Whyton, Knowledge Exchange Fellows with the HERA—Humanities in the European Research Area project, who comment on the strengths of the humanities and the sort of key contributions these disciplines can make to pressing social challenges.
Rounding-out this edition is an interview with Dr Matthias Reiter-Pázmándy, the Austrian Deputy Head of the Department for Social Sciences and Humanities in the Directorate General for Scientific Research and International Relations in the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Research (BMBWF), sitting member the Societal Challenge 6 Programme Committee and delegate to the Cluster 2 Programme Committee, who provides his view on SSHA Integration from the policymaker’s perspective.
