Project Abstract: PLATON+

PLATON+ (Strengthening the role that Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH) have on the ERA Development)

PLATON+ aims to catalyze dissemination of the European research in Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH). PLATON+ differentiates from existing similar / complementary projects by setting its center of gravity in: (i) The wide use of a variety of the latest information and communication applications which are integrated in its web-portal. The latter is expected to operate as a ‘Virtual Knowledge Hub’ for SSH research stakeholders. (ii) The systematic collaboration with complementary and similar projects. (iii) Stimulating collaboration with FP6-CITIZENS & FP7-SSH research projects and highly experienced and networked SSH organizations. Overall, more than 1.300 people will participate in PLATON+ events, 15.000 users are expected to visit the project web-portal.
