METRIS
METRIS (Monitoring European trends in the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities) is a project that is designed to increase the visibility of research endeavours in the field of socio-economic sciences and humanities (SSH) by optimising the stock of SSH resources and facilities. METRIS is oriented to support evidence-based decision-making in the EU SSH, thus allowing for the development of further cooperation in Europe, on the basis of the identification of common trends, common interests and common challenges at the regional, national, transnational and European levels.
A METRIS online portal will be set up in 2009 and it will include national reports, profiles of national research programmes, institutions, data-bases, analyses of trends at national and European levels, but also at regional levels.
Advansis is acting as the Finnish country correspondent in the project, providing information on the research system and research policies in the field of socio-economic sciences and humanities. The project, which will be run and managed by the Commission Services will have an initial duration phase of two years (2009-2010).
