These domains are: Growth, employment and competitiveness in a knowledge society: European research in socio-economic sciences and the humanities must support policies aimed at achieving competitive, innovative scieties that can create quality jobs. Combining economic, social and environmental objectives in a European perspective: This area addresses the need to sustain cohesive societies while accepting the scale of environmental challenges, which must be seen as a risk but also as an opportunity. Major trends in society and their implications: Research is needed to understand and facilitate strategies to tackle social changes like ageing populations, migration and multicultural societies. Europe in the world: Social sciences and the humanities can improve our understanding of the new multipolar worl and Europe's role in it. The citizen in the European Union: The issues addressed in this area relate to the development of European democracies, to the rights and obligations of European citizens and to the shared values in a diverse Union. Socio-economic and scientific indicators: New indicators for measuring new social and economic realities are needed for informed policy-making. Foresight: European research in forward looking activities aims at identifying major trends and outlining likely scenarios for the future of Europe. It builds new tools for forecasting the main social, economic, environmental and technological developments. The Framework Programme's Theme 8 “Socio-economic Sciences and the Humanities” is implemented through regular calls for proposals. Financed research projects are carried out by consortia including at least three EU Member States or countries associated to the Framework Programme. This synopsis compiles basic information on the projects selected in 2010 and 2011 (call FP-SSH-2010-1-2- 3-4 and call FP-SSH-2011-1-2-3).
