Summaries of all the SSH projects funded under the first call of FP7

News
For news and info on socio-economic sciences and humanities in 7th Framework Programme you can visit the the EC SSH site and the CORDIS SSH service.

Preliminary information about the next call for proposals (to be launched 3 September 2008)
The next calls for proposals is expected to be launched in July 2008, with closing dates for submissions in December 2008.

This provides a relatively short period of time for teams of proposal writers to be formed and to prepare highly competitive proposals before the deadline.

It is therefore useful to take note of early information on possible topics from draft work programmes for the forthcoming call, so that preliminary networking and planning can take place in anticipation of a possible response to the forthcoming call. Obviously the final work programme launched in July may differ from earlier draft versions, and some topics might not feature in the final version as anticipated. Early networking should nevertheless be regarded as an investment in possible future collaboration, because all SSH calls under FP7 will show continuity and consistency in terms of the activities, areas and topics identified for research.

• Possible topics under the SSH theme
• Possible relevant topics under the Health theme
• Possible relevant topics under the Food, Biotechnology and Agriculture theme
• Possible relevant topics under the Environment theme

Open call
Migration research (NORFACE)
Kindly note that South African researchers and research teams may participate in proposed projects, as follows:

• Each project must be composed of research teams based at universities or research institutes in three or more different NORFACE countries. We should be able to search for potential partners / lead organisations through the kind support of the Academy of Finland offices in Brussels.
• The research teams based in NORFACE countries can include researchers from or based in the countries from which the migration originates. The costs of the researchers/research teams based in the countries from which the migration originates (such as salaries, travel costs etc.) must be covered from budget of a research team based in a NORFACE country.
• (Other) researchers from non-NORFACE countries are allowed to participate in the projects as Co-operation partners. However, no funding can be applied for them from the NORFACE programme. The applicants invited to submit a Full Proposal will be asked to show from which sources the participation of the Co-operation partners will be funded.
