If you are thinking about applying for a Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) related call under FP7 and missed the info day, fear not I have some useful tips from the day to share with you. The European Commission SSH Unit representative said that proposals should:
- include a range of partners from different countries and show added value for each of these
- use both qualitative and quantitative methods
- look at projects funded on the website between 2007-10
- not replicate previously funded projects
- pay attention to dissemination plans (give specific info on the journals, conferences, etc)
- demonstrate interaction between the different Work Packages
- support Policy.
There were several other presentations on the day which you can access using via UKRO the links below:
