How to advocate for social sciences and humanities
The goal of this panel is to develop a strategy on how to advocate for the social sciences and humanities disciplines and to target funders and policy makers, both at national and at European level. Conclusions will be based on the professional experience of the panelists. The exchange of both advocacy experiences and as examples of actual best practices, challenges, or obstacles will help us in finding a common ground to operate on the European level while taking into account local specificities. This panel will include brief presentations on how to advocate for the social sciences and humanities disciplines in European countries by working with funders, policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders. The session will be based on actual examples of such activities. Presentations will be followed by a moderated Questions and Answers.
