• Communicating research for evidence-based policymaking - a practical guide for researchers in Socio-economic sciences and humanities
  2010, EUR 24230 EN, ISBN 978-92-79-14858-3, ISSN 1018-5593, doi 10.2777/9276, 56 pages

  In today's enlarged European Union, the demand for policy-relevant evidence is greater than ever before. Policymakers need accurate and timely input from the research community in order to assess socio-economic challenges and propose effective strategies for tackling them.
  This guide offers practical advice on how to build a functional communications interface between researchers and policymakers. Advocating a cooperative approach to the policy design process, it is specifically tailored to meet the needs of those involved in EU-funded socio-economic research projects.

  Communicating research for evidence-based policymaking provides essential help in creating policy briefs, project websites, flyers and brochures. It offers insights into dealing with the press and contains valuable suggestions on how to organise a final conference. With this guide, researchers should be better able to develop and implement a successful dissemination strategy.

2010 , EUR 24453 EN, ISBN 978-92-79-16192-6, ISSN 1018-5593, doi 10.2777/76190, 148 pages

The following report presents the results of a study aiming to evaluate the contribution of the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) parts of the Framework Programme on the European Research Area in SSH. It covers research carried out in the 3rd call of the Socio-economic Research Key Action of the 5th Framework Programme as well as the "Citizens and Governance in a Knowledge-Based Society" part of FP6. The study examined the impacts of these programmes in four domains: the research policies for SSH in Member States, the structuring effects of the new instruments; the importance of the support for research infrastructures in the context of the SSH programme; and the impact of the programme on the careers of participating researchers.
