Guidelines on how to successfully design, and implement, mission-oriented research programmes

Despite tremendous progress that our societies have made in recent decades, equally challenging tasks remain. These societal challenges directly concern the way we interact with each other and our environment, the way we produce and consume, and the way in which we construct and perceive meaning in our actions or change our behaviour. Yet so far, existing programmes have not entirely managed to unleash the full potential of interdisciplinary cooperation between SSH research and research from the natural sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Thus, during the Austrian Presidency of the EU Conference on ‘Impacts of Social Sciences and Humanities for a European Research Agenda – Valuation of SSH in Mission-Oriented Research’, guidelines on how to successfully design, and implement, mission-oriented research programmes have been developed to facilitate the job of programme owners, programme designers and evaluators.

The guidelines can be downloaded here.

These guidelines have been drafted, consulted and compiled by Thomas König on behalf of the organisers of the conference, which was supported by project funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 814729. The author likes to acknowledge with much appreciation the input of the consulted experts who contributed to these guidelines.
