SET Plan Implementation Plans and HEU Partnerships SRIAs - Content Analysis of Social Sciences and Humanities Domains and Topics

SSH CENTRE (Social Sciences and Humanities for Climate, Energy aNd Transport Research Excellence) is a Horizon Europe project, engaging directly with stakeholders across research, policy, and business (including citizens) to strengthen social innovation, SSH-STEM collaboration, transdisciplinary policy advice, inclusive engagement, and SSH communities across Europe, accelerating the EU’s transition to carbon neutrality.

SSH CENTRE is based in a range of activities related to Open Science, inclusivity and diversity – especially with regards Southern and Eastern Europe and different career stages – including: development of novel SSH-STEM collaborations to facilitate the delivery of the EU Green Deal; SSH knowledge brokerage to support regions in transition; and the effective design of strategies for citizen engagement in EU R&I activities. Outputs include action-led agendas and building stakeholder synergies through regular Policy Insight events.

This is captured in a high-profile virtual SSH CENTRE generating and sharing best practice for SSH policy advice, overcoming fragmentation to accelerate the EU’s journey to a sustainable future.

Within SSH CENTRE project, Work Package 4 aims at incorporating SSH within settings such as the SET Plan, HEU Missions, and HEU Partnerships. This effort aims to inform and influence future EU R&I priorities to accommodate a wide spectrum of socio-economic challenges faced in transitions with a particular focus on climate, energy, and mobility. While the HEU Missions recommendations (T4.2) have been gathered via citizens' panels, T4.1 on the SET Plan and T4.3 on the HEU Partnerships brought the SSH CENTRE partners to review each of their programmatic documents (e.g., IPs and SRIAs, namely Implementation Plans and Strategic Research and Innovation Agendas).

The uploaded Excel file presents the analysis undertaken on the IPs and SRIAs. The analysis covers 13 SET Plan IPs (Wind, PV, CCUS, Geothermal, Ocean energy, CSP, Industrial and buildings energy efficiency, bioenergy, PEDs, Energy systems, nuclear safety) and 7 Partnerships' SRIAs (CCAM, CETP, P4P, batteries, clean hydrogen, B4P, DUT).
