Horizon Europe participation opportunities for Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities beyond Cluster 2
Horizon Europe aims at fully integrating Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in each of its pillars. In particular, under the pillar ‘Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness’, SSH should be fully integrated across all clusters. SSH is therefore a cross-cutting issue and integrated in the whole Framework Programme. While SSH research aspects are particularly present in Cluster 2, they are also present in all other clusters and in other parts of Horizon Europe.
