>In a ‡ day meeting we had with Maire Geoghegan-Quinn on 10 November she
>acknowledged the mobilisation of the SSH community across Europe and
>beyond and gave some reassurances about the reintegration of SSH-research

>Commissionerís speech)

>We must bear in mind, however, that in the past the SSH-related Framework
>Programme component has been, time and again, in danger of being
>eliminated at the end of negotiations between national governments, the
>European Parliament and the Commission, and also the size of the budget
>accessible for SSH-researchers is far from being secured.
>This is why we shall keep the signature function open so that you can
>further circulate it to colleagues in the relevant fields through the
>appropriate channels and invite them to also sign up. For your easier
>reference, we have copied an updated version of the message in which you
>can invite them to sign.
>
>We shall do a first analysis of the signatures received by 20 November,
>publicise the results that far through a press release, and inform MEPís
>as well as national governments and parliamentarians of the result. We
>shall keep you, of course, informed.

>Open Letter to the European Commission on Socio-economic Sciences and
>Humanities research in the new FP, 2014-2020
>
>Dear colleagues,
>
>With this message we would like to invite you to sign an Open Letter
>addressed to the European Commissioner for Research and Innovation
>(http://www.eash.eu/openletter2011/), alerting her to the vital insights
>that Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH) contribute to address
>Europeís and the worldís Grand Societal Challenges.
>
>First results of our initiative to strengthen the SSH-component in
>ìHorizon 2020î were presented to Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn on 10
>November 2011. On this occasion she interacted with the scientific
>community during in a ‡ day symposium on the role of SSH in ìHorizon 2020î
>in London. She expressed her appreciation for the mobilisation of the
>community towards strengthening the SSH domain in the new Framework
>Programme.
>Following this successful exchange, we shall interact next (after 20
>November ) with lawmakers in the European Parliament and national
>political authorities.
>It would therefore be useful to collect further support from a large
>cross-section of the SSH- and SSH-related research communities number
>until 20 November.
>
>In view of legislative decisions to be taken on the next 100-Billion-worth
>EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020 (2014-2020), the letter stresses the
>necessity for a varied and strong research programme in the Socio-economic
>Sciences and Humanities (SSH): it argues that neglecting such potential
>contributions as SSH research has to make risks undermining the EU
>strategy to develop innovative, inclusive and sustainable societies. Yet,
>there still is a distinct danger of insufficient funding in Horizon 2020
>for research areas such as cultural change, demography, education, the
>economy and globalisation, identity politics and social cohesion, and many
>others. For background information on these matters see:
>http://www.eash.eu/openletter2011/
>
>The Open Letter initiative has grown out of deliberations among a number
>of European umbrella organisations in the area of SSH, and seeks to bring
>to the attention of the European Commission and national governments the
>concerns of the largest research community in Europe.
>
>If you agree, that a substantial and independent SSH-centered research
>programme should be included in all future European Framework Programmes,
>we invite you to sign the Open Letter online at
>http://www.eash.eu/openletter2011/. Kindly circulate this invitation to
>sign among your institutions, and across your networks, projects and
>subject associations.
>
>Thank you in advance for signing and for supporting this initiative. Do
>not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions:
