European Science Foundation

Objectives of the ESF Standing Committee for the

Humanities (SCH)

The main tasks of the ESF Standing Committee for the Humanities (SCH) are:

Ø to encourage interdisciplinary work through the independent evaluation of

collaborative research proposals emanating from the scholarly community;

Ø to identify priority research areas and to play an integrative and co-ordinating

role by creating links between research communities which in the Humanities

are often small and fragmented.

Ø to contribute to the development of the ESF science policy agenda and to

provide expert advice on science policy actions at the European level in the

field of its responsibilities.

The Committee is well aware that the ESF is the only European Agency where the

Humanities have a place next to the other sciences and where European projects are

reviewed, developed and subsequently operated.

The Committee considers it all the more important to be heard as the voice of the

Human Sciences in Europe and to continue pleading for a more prominent place for

the Humanities in the European landscape.
