This event is jointly organised by the German National Contact Point for Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities at the PT-DLR (SSH NCP), International Cooperation in Education of the German Institute for International Educational Research (DIPF) and the SSH project NET4SOCIETY in cooperation with the European Commission.

During the first day of the conference participants will receive first hand information about the policy context, funding opportunities and the forthcoming calls for proposals. A specific foresight session focuses on the societal need in 2020 and beyond and corresponding research topics challenging educational sciences in the near future. Finally, successfull coordinators of EU-funded projects in the field of educational sciences will share their experiences and their latest findings. 

On the second day participants will have the opportunity to discuss in parallel sessions the topics and challenges focusing on educational sciences of the “Indicative Research Roadmap”. The results of the discussions will be provided to the European Commission as scientific input for the preparation of the forthcoming SSH work programmes.

A matchmaking event according to the topics serving as a basis of discussion for the parallel sessions will afterwards take place to facilitate the setup of FP7 project consortia.
