The UB signs the call on the presence of social sciences and humanities in the 9th EU Framework Program
The UB is among the universities that signed a call to strengthen research on social sciences and humanities and reinforce its integration in the 9th EU Framework Program on Research and Innovation (FP9), which is now being defined. This call can be signed by entities that wish so -until February 28, and it aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research led by social sciences and humanities, and to support high-quality contributions to projects led by known disciplines such as STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine) that can be carried out in these fields.

This initiative, led by the Ghent University, presents five proposals: the creation of a platform for social sciences and humanities, similar to the European Technological Platforms (ETPs); encouraging researchers to think on how to create an academic and social impact; recognizing all disciplines contribute to make a more inclusive and prosperous Europe; investing in high-quality innovation on social sciences and humanities: and setting a target budget for the social sciences and humanities spending of the 10 % of the overall civil research budget for FP9.
