NET4SOCIETY - transnational co-operation among National Contact Points for Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities

NET4SOCIETY is the international network of National Contact Points for Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in the 7th European Framework Programme (FP7). National Contact Points (NCPs) are set up to guide researchers in their quest for securing EU funding.

This website is aimed at researchers and stakeholders in Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities. It will help you find funding opportunities for your research project and provide you with up-to-date information on the European Commission funding schemes.

NET4SOCIETY is the network of National Contact Points for Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities (SSH), and was founded in 2008. We actively support networking in the SSH research community and offer help in every respect of FP7 consultation. NET4SOCIETY includes the European and International National Contact Points of almost 50 countries in 2012.
