Metris – Monitoring European Trends in Social Sciences and Humanities – a Network of Correspondents

The objective of METRIS is to compile an inventory of SSH research in Europe consisting of important national programmes and priorities as well as protagonists, trends and societal challenges and to enable comparative analyses. Thus it is intended to spot strengths and weaknesses of European research in Social Sciences and Humanities. Within the project an information- and monitoring-system will be developed to advice science policy makers and researchers as well as the interested public on a national and European level. In order to do so, a network of experts was implemented. iFQ acts as Country Correspondent for Germany and is one of the steering committee members of the network. The project is coordinated by Technopolis Consulting Group Belgium SPRL . Results of analysis and further information will be published on a online portal.

Co-ordination: Technopolis Consulting Group Belgium SPRL (European Network with more than 20 country correspondents)
Duration: Januar 2009 – Juni 2011; funded by: European Commission, DG Research
