Horizon Europe is the EU\u2019s upcoming major research funding programme (Framework Programme 9), running from 2021 to 2027, and will allocate almost \u20ac100 billion. Horizon Europe will continue the tradition of structuring funding calls around global challenges such as energy, and the current proposals include a Climate-Energy-Transport <\/i>cluster.<\/p>\n

Research findings from the energy-related Social Sciences and Humanities (energy-SSH*) are fundamental to understanding and meeting energy policy challenges. Neglecting SSH insights – for example into the social, political, historical and psychological dimensions of energy transitions – risks failing to meet Europe\u2019s ambitious visions for its energy future.<\/p>\n

However there is a large gap between energy-SSH research and strategic energy policy bodies in terms of common working agendas. Building on input from a diversity of well over 10,000 stakeholders over two years, we present here SHAPE ENERGY\u2019s specific recommendations to fill this gap.<\/p>\n

These seven principles outline clear actions for European funders, policyworkers and researchers to support a more impactful role for energy-SSH in defining the energy agenda over 2020-2030. A clear reference point for these principles – given its significance – is the upcoming Horizon Europe programme.<\/p>\n

Already supported by numerous signatories, we invite you to add your support. These will be submitted to the European Commission\u2019s strategy unit for Energy Research and Innovation (within DG RTD<\/u><\/span><\/a>) in January 2019, with an update given in spring 2019.<\/p>\n

*SHAPE ENERGY works across the full range of Social Sciences and Humanities, including energy-related research (both current and potential) within: Business, Communication Studies, Development, Economics, Education, Environmental Social Science, Gender, History, Human Geography, Law, Philosophy, Planning, Politics, Psychology, Science and Technology Studies, Sociology, Social Anthropology, Social Policy, and Theology.<\/i><\/span>
