2 Previous Framework Programmes had combined SSH in a single work program, handled by a specific unit of the European Commission. In Horizon 2020, the former SSH program has a successor, ‘Europe in a changing world: inclusive, innovative and reflective societies’, alongside appeals to integrate SSH with all of Horizon 2020. The two previous Framework Programmes also had a distinct ‘Science in Society’ programme, whose successor is ‘Science with and for Society’; this programme, in particular, emphasizes the concept Responsible Research and Innovation; see note 4.
