Social Science and Humanities

Social Science and Humanities (SSH as they are denoted) have benefited over the centuries and continue to benefit today from major contributions of scholars from universities which are now members of the Coimbra Group. SSH have, for centuries, contributed to the development of values, thought and democratic institutions of the open society of which CG universities are today a part. SSH educational programmes continue to provide a large share of the Europe's most highly qualified work force with both educational and research training, and SSH research remains crucial for answers to the challenges that today face contemporary European and global societies.
