The challenge of the Action is to enable the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) to better demonstrate their true place in academia and society. To do so, the Action proposes to bring together different strands of work consecrated to SSH research evaluation, currently under development in different parts of Europe, in order to gain momentum, to exchange best practices and results, and to avoid unnecessary duplication.

COST Action CA15137 is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020 (2016–2020).

Emanuel Kulczycki is the Scientific Representative and Marek Hołowiecki is the Grant Manager in the Grant Holder Institution  (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań).
