All day
This Austrian EU Council Presidency conference will engage around 350 participants from all over Europe and international partner countries. It will gather RTI policy makers, RTI councils, public and philanthropic funding agencies, research managers, academics, and evaluators to debate and forward valuation and impact generation of SSH in disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research settings for the benefit of socially more robust RTI policies, RTI processes and RTI solutions to better address European challenges and missions.
The conference responds to several strategic developments, which are shaping European policy discussions, such as:
- arguments of the Lamy-Report and the that SSH acts as the driver for some missions of the next Framework Programme for R&I (and as contributor to others) and the need to develop adequate impact oriented RTI policy designs,
- recommendations drawn up in the Mazzucato-Report to maximise the impact of the future EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation through mission-oriented policy,
- the Issue Paper prepared by the European Commission services for the ‘High Level Group on maximising the impact of EU research and innovation programmes’ which highlights the high policy relevance of SSH research, the very different level of integration of certain SSH disciplines and topics in other societal challenges and the uneven geographical participation,
- the claim of the European Parliament towards a broader and clear definition of impact by raising awareness on societal, cultural and long-term impacts,
- the argument of the Estonian EU Council Presidency to develop a more sophisticated and dynamic approach to impact assessment,
- and Competitiveness Council conclusions to implement a mission-oriented and impact-focused approach in FP9, to maximise the impact of results to offer advanced solutions to the challenges that our society is facing and to and make research and innovation more inclusive of relevant players and citizens
