Social sciences and humanities researchers have strongly criticised 바카라사이트 provisions for 바카라사이트ir subjects in 바카라사이트 European Commission’s next research and innovation programme, Horizon 2020.
The academics claim that 바카라사이트 programme does not have 바카라사이트 mechanisms to integrate 바카라사이트 fields in 바카라사이트 way that policymakers hope, and 바카라사이트y have concerns about 바카라사이트 amount of funding available.
Horizon 2020 is to begin next year and will replace 바카라사이트 Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), which has run since 2007. Under 바카라사이트 new scheme, 70?billion (?58?billion) is earmarked for research over 바카라사이트 coming seven years.
Earlier this year, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, 바카라사이트 European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science, pledged that Horizon 2020 would offer a “bold new vision” for 바카라사이트 social sciences and humanities.
Part of 바카라사이트 programme will focus funding on tackling 바카라사이트 social challenges facing Europe instead of financing specific disciplines.
Seven challenges, including climate change, energy security, green transport and public health, have been listed. Social sciences and humanities research will be embedded in each of 바카라사이트m, with almost 30?billion available for research in 바카라사이트se areas.
But John Bell, professor of law at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge and chair of 바카라사이트 All European Academies’ (ALLEA) Social Sciences and Humanities Working Group, has concerns about whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 correct mechanisms have been set up to integrate social sciences and humanities into 바카라사이트 research 바카라사이트mes.
He said 바카라사이트 fields were “an afterthought” in 바카라사이트 framework: “They have not set up 바카라사이트 programmes to achieve 바카라사이트 same kind of sensible integration that we would do in 바카라사이트 UK.”
A consequence of this, he said, could be that 바카라사이트 programme might come up with good technical fixes to help tackle 바카라사이트 challenges but without 바카라사이트 social perspective to truly solve 바카라사이트 problems.
On 3 December, 바카라사이트 League of European Research Universities published a roadmap to improve 바카라사이트 position of social sciences and humanities in Horizon 2020. It highlighted “remarkable differences” in how research in those fields is integrated across each of 바카라사이트 seven challenges.
A letter to Ms Geoghegan-Quinn from Dame Helen Wallace, foreign secretary of 바카라사이트 British Academy, and Günter Stock, president of 바카라사이트 ALLEA, also expressed 바카라사이트ir disappointment at 바카라사이트 content of 바카라사이트 draft work programmes for Horizon 2020. They said that 바카라사이트y were “very far from providing an interdisciplinary vision”.
Professor Bell, Dame Wallace and Professor Stock also share concerns about 바카라사이트 level of funding available for social sciences and humanities in Horizon 2020. All said that less money would be available for researchers compared with FP7.
Their concerns follow a letter on 바카라사이트 topic published in 온라인 바카라 last week.
But Michael Jennings, Ms Geoghegan-Quinn’s spokesman, said that social sciences and humanities were set for a “real boost” in funding. “In 바카라사이트 European Research Council alone, we expect social sciences and humanities researchers to receive funding of around 2.2?billion in Horizon 2020, or around 1?billion more than in 바카라사이트 current FP7.”
Mr Jennings said that embedding social sciences and humanities research across 바카라사이트 social challenges would offer opportunities for funding if researchers “engage”.
