Reasons for joining

The social sciences and humanities in Europe are unmatched across the world in their quality and above all their scope. They represent an indispensable resource for European and world societies.

The social sciences and humanities research communities have a proven record of delivering world-class insights into these challenges and of engaging effectively with policy makers to harness these insights for the betterment of society.

We welcome new member organisations eager to support the Alliance in this work and to extend its scope. EASSH therefore invites all participants in the social science and humanities community to join the association and contribute to policy discussion not only at European level but among national systems in Europe too.
