WBC-INCO.NET will hold a consultation session on Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) back to back with the conference.
A series of sessions will take place over three days, moving from policy discussion and debate to FP7 networking and engagement.
There will be key-note speeches by renowned researchers and practitioners in the field, from Europe as well as from Canada, the USA, South America, and South-east Asia (Japan, South Korea). Confirmed speakers include Denis Harrison (University of Montreal), Kriss Deiglmeier (CSI Stanford), Antonella Noya (OECD), and Uwe Schneidewind (Wuppertal Institute).
A focused networking session will take place on 21st September, providing information on the upcoming call for proposals FP7-SSH-2012, launching in summer 2011. SSH researchers and stakeholders (universities, research institutions, civil society organizations and SMEs) will have the opportunity to meet both potential coordinators and potential project partners in a structured networking environment.
This event will give you the unique opportunity to build consortia for the next
Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities call in FP7.
