Work Programme 2012 COOPERATION THEME 8 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES (European Commission C(2011)5068 of 19 July 2011)

WP The objective is to generate an in-depth, shared understanding of the complex, interrelated socio-economic challenges that Europe faces. These include the need to foster growth, employment and competitiveness, as well as social cohesion. Social, cultural and educational challenges in an enlarged EU are significant, as are sustainability, environmental protection, demographic change, migration and integration, quality of life, removing barriers to exercising citizenship and global interdependence. The aim is to improve the knowledge base for drawing up policies that have a clear relevance in these fields at European level.

Innovation Union aspects The work programme can contribute to innovation in two ways, and marks a significant change in the approach seen in previous editions: 1/ By supporting more topics intended to generate knowledge to deliver new, more innovative products, processes and services. This could include pilot, demonstration and validation activities. The focus on innovation will be reflected in the description of the objectives and the scope of specific topics, as well as in the statements on expected impacts. The proposals will be evaluated for their innovation dimension under the criterion ‘Impact’.

Innovation Union aspects 2/ By identifying and addressing issues such as the capacity for innovation and dissemination, and by enhancing the use of the knowledge generated (protection of intellectual property rights such as patenting, preparing standards, etc). Information on the Risk-Sharing Finance Facility, an innovative financial instrument under FP7, is available on line. The Commission will take part in activities to meet potential beneficiaries' need for further information on the facility by taking part in awareness-raising with the European Investment Bank, thematic events and other suitable means.

Priorities There are four priorities: The Innovation Union in support of smart growth, including themes such as Education systems in the 21st century; Unveiling creativity for innovation in Europe; Smart specialisation for regional innovation; Social innovation in the public sector; Making longevity an asset for economic and social development; European energy security, including its economic dimension.

P. II Inclusive and sustainable growth, including themes such as Social innovation against inequalities; Governing cohesion and diversity in an urban context; Understanding disabilities in evolving societies; Innovative policies for labour markets; New forms of offence in a globalised world: the case of environmental crime; Families in transition; Social innovation for vulnerable populations; Dealing with diversity and cohesion: the case of the Roma in the European Union.

P. III Reshaping the European economy and strengthening the political unity of the EU, including themes such as The future of macro-economic and monetary integration in Europe; Coordinating economic research agendas; Mapping data opportunities for economic and social research and policy making; Enlargement and the integration capacity of the EU: past experience and future prospects; Exercising EU citizenship: removing barriers; Mobilising institutional reforms in research and innovation systems for better scientific, innovation and economic performances in Europe.

P. IV Support for developing the external policies of the European Union, including themes such as Human rights in EU external relations and internal policies; Towards an Atlantic Area?; National and regional integration in South-East Asia; Social changes and political transformations in the Arab world; Climate change uncertainties: policymaking for the Pacific front.

Priorytety Pierwszym z priorytetów jest wspomaganie nowatorskich metod edukacyjnych, zgodnie z regułą ‘long life learning’, uczenia się i zdobywania nowych umiejętności przez całe życie Drugim z priorytetów jest wzmożenie badań nad przekształceniami świata społecznego UE Trzecim z priorytetów jest wspomaganie działań sprzyjających wewnętrznej integracji Unii Czwartym z priorytetów jest wspieranie unijnej polityki na arenie międzynarodowej, zwłaszcza w kontekście przemian w świecie arabskim i w Azji Południowo- Wschodniej

Dissemination Proposals should develop clear, targeted dissemination and valorisation strategies, including the use of new media, addressing and involving not just scientific audiences, but also policymakers, civil society organisations and other key actors and, where appropriate, the general public. These strategies should be an integral part of the projects, to be implemented from early on in the project life cycle.

Getting started Funding decisions in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) are made on the basis of proposals submitted following calls published by the Commission or one of its agencies. Proposals describe planned research activities, information on who will carry them out, and how much they will cost. They must be submitted using a special web-based service before a strictly enforced deadline. The Commission/agency evaluates all eligible proposals in order to identify those whose quality is sufficiently high for possible funding. The basis for this evaluation is a peer-review carried out by independent experts.

Guide for applicants The Commission/agency then negotiates with some or all of those whose proposals have successfully passed the evaluation stage, depending on the budget available. If negotiations are successfully concluded, grant agreements providing for an EU financial contribution are established with the participants.

Collaborative projects Purpose Collaborative projects are objective driven research projects aiming at developing new knowledge, new technology, products, and that may include scientific coordination, demonstration activities or sharing of common resources for research in order to improve European competitiveness or to address major societal needs. As such, they may also be targeted to special groups, such as SMEs and other smaller actors.
