The Research Security Centre is proud to announce the launch of a new module titled Protecting Knowledge: Research Security in Social Sciences and Humanities.

This eighth module highlights the importance of research security in the social sciences and humanities for analyzing and managing complex security-related situations. It examines key threat areas, including foreign influence, harassment, and the misuse of sensitive research data. The module also illustrates how social science data, when misused, can be employed to shape public opinion, intensify surveillance, or support coercive practices that violate human rights. Through case studies and concrete examples, it helps participants deepen their understanding of the risks inherent to research in the social sciences and humanities.

Date : April 9, 2026
Time: 1p.m.-2:30p.m. (EDT)
Registration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/27eeb6c3-8723-4986-b79c-abb9447860aa@2d28dd40-a4f2-4317-a351-bc709c183c85

This Info Day will inform (potential) applicants about the 2026 topics included in the Cluster 2 'Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society' work programme 2026-2027.

Cluster 2 aims to meet EU goals and priorities on enhancing democratic governance and citizens’ participation, on the safeguarding and promotion of cultural heritage and Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), and on to responding to and shaping multifaceted social, economic, technological and cultural transformations.

The program mobilizes multidisciplinary expertise of European social sciences and humanities (SSH) for understanding fundamental contemporary transformations of society, economy, politics and culture. It aims to provide evidence-based policy options for a socially just and inclusive European green and digital transitions and a post-COVID 19 recovery.

Future projects should deliver on the three intervention areas matching the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan (2025-2027):

• · Green transition
• · Digital transition
• · A more resilient, competitive, inclusive and democratic Europe

All topics under this Cluster are expected to mainstream Social Sciences and Humanities and to include a gender dimension in their research.
