Abstract: In this talk we will present the current project analyzing the possible formation of a field of European social sciences. We hence investigate the possible formation of a relatively integrated social scape of European social science, integrated through both intellectual and institutional structures. The social sciences have historically been closely connected to the nation states. In the last decades we have witnessed an increasing Europeanisation of many aspects of social life and among them the sciences. The question is how this has shaped both the internal structures and practices of social science knowledge production, but also the relation between social science and political institutions on a European level. In the presentation we will present the overall theoretical framework for understanding the processes of forming a field of European social science and first preliminary analysis form the project. Here we will focus on the changes – both cognitive and organization – in the EU research funding for the social sciences as well as on the political struggles and negotiations over the position and purpose of the social sciences in EU research policies and the practices of navigating social science research projects on a European level.
