Mapping of research in european social sciences and humanities

MORESS aims to support the development of the European Research Area through improving information on pan-European research in social sciences and humanities. The extensive geographical coverage available to the European University Association through its individual and collective members (higher education institutions and rectors conferences ) will be exploited to catalogue and build links between existing national information sources, and to expand the information base on a restricted number of themes. Two objectives will guide the project : (1) to improve the accessibility and use of information sources across Europe through developing innovative means of linking nationally available data sources, and (2) to expand the information base in a small number of pluridisciplinary areas in response to specific public policy challenges. MORESS thus has the objective of making a significant contribution to promoting European social science research.
