The European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities (EASSH)

UM is a member of the European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities (EASSH), the largest advocacy and science policy organisation for the social sciences and humanities in Europe. The Alliance draws on the international expertise and insight of its members to inform and influence European policy and decision makers. Working groups bring SSH research and knowledge into the public debate, and strengthen European research and cooperation among public and private partners. EASSH has over 65 member organisations including a wide range of disciplinary areas, stakeholders and universities from across Europe - and encompassing over 100.000 researchers. 

A UM internal working group has been created with representatives from each of the six UM faculties. This working group provides input to EASSH reflecting UM’s point of view and priorities on various topics in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) domain, thus helping to create optimised European funding opportunities for this domain and shaping policy as well as creating impact.

UM researchers but also policy makers and other interested staff members are invited to provide their input. Interested parties can also contact EASSH Secretary at UM Raymunde Neven to stay informed of EASSH news and other developments.
