Training event announcement
The SSH Open Marketplace Editorial Board is happy to invite you to a series of 8 online hands-on workshops to strengthen FAIR and digital research skills.
Save the dates and register here!
FAIR-by-design learning materials
The training series are conceptualised following the FAIR-by-design methodology developed in skills4EOSC (Filiposka et al. 2024), which consists in taking a systematic approach for conceptualizing each training session, e.g. :
- defining the target audience
- defining the learning objectives and the means to achieve them in each training session
- publishing the materials and guides about how to use them, among others.
FAIR learning materials enable the reuse of the materials both by learners and by trainers.
Training Series Learning objectives

The SSHOC-CH Board is happy to announce that the second SSHOC-CH General Assembly will take place on April 24, 2026 in Bern. Members are kindly invited to save the date.
For this 2nd edition, the program will contain parallel sessions to foster exchange among members and SSHOC-CH WGs (in the morning), joint lunch, followed by a general discussion and the formal part of the GA in the afternoon
More information about the programme will be published early 2026.
SSHOC-CH Working Groups (WGs)
As part of the SSHOC-CH mission to ensure the exchange and cooperation of research infrastructures, to identify and create synergies, and, where possible, to develop joint platforms and services or make existing ones interoperable, the SSHOC-CH Board invites its members to identify key topics of cooperation and to propose SSHOC-CH WGs.
Such WGs can address joint issues the SSH community finds relevant or also focus on specific coordination challenges in parts of the SSHOC-CH community.
Call for SSHOC-CH WGs
SSHOC-CH invites its members as well as other interested parties to propose a working group. According to Article 9 of the SSHOC-CH Statutes, the board can establish SSHOC-CH working groups. SSHOC-CH Working Groups (WGs) are established to address specific issues relevant for social sciences and humanities research infrastructures in Switzerland. They serve as platforms for focused collaboration, knowledge exchange, and joint action.
Proposals are welcome until the end of 2025.
We plan to have parallel sessions of the different WGs at the SSHOC-CH General Assembly 24 April 2026. Please contact SSHOC-CH if you have any questions or inputs.
Operating principles for SSHOC-CH WGs
In order to advance in a better coordinated research infrastructure landscape in our domain, we depend on the participation and the willingness of all SSHOC-CH members to contribute and lead such efforts.

The question of the future of Social Sciences and Humanities research infrastructures in Switzerland has become more and more preoccupying for infrastructure professionals, for researchers and for policy makers.
Three notable initiatives have analysed the landscape, published position papers and reports in which they discuss the results of their analyses and formulate recommendations.
-
The Swiss National Open Research Data Strategy Council (StraCo) mandated the Task Force for Social Sciences and Humanities (TF SSH) to analyze Cluster 2 within Switzerland’s Open Research Data (ORD) ecosystem. The report published on April 23, 2025, provides the analytical, factual foundation for a strategic push to improve coordination, sustainability, and alignment of SSH research data infrastructures (RDIs).The report finds that social sciences and humanities are critical to addressing societal challenges such as digital transformation, cultural preservation, and evidence-based policymaking. Despite considerable progress, SSH RDIs often face fragmented governance, short-term funding models, and data access and reuse barriers. The report aims to map existing SSH RDIs and services and identify gaps, redundancies, and opportunities for coordination. Download and read the report here.
-
The directors of the two national research infrastructures for the SSH – the Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences FORS and the Swiss National Data and Service Center for the Humanities DaSCH – joined their force to make an analysis of the policy, funding and governance framework for Swiss SSH research infrastructures. The papers highlights that Switzerland’s research infrastructure landscape suffers from inconsistent funding, governance, and monitoring models. A unified legal framework and a national coordinating body are proposed to ensure transparency, standardization, and sustainability. Joint funding, inclusive access, and coordinated monitoring would improve efficiency and support Switzerland’s global research competitiveness. Download and read the report here.

The Swiss SSH Open Cluster SSHOC-CH was founded on April 24, 2024, with the mission to create a cluster of social science and humanities research infrastructures in Switzerland, encompassing both national infrastructures and the national nodes of international infrastructures. The goal is to ensure the exchange and cooperation of research infrastructures to support research projects and researchers, identify and foster synergies, and, where possible, develop joint platforms and services or enhance the interoperability of existing ones. To lay the bases of SSHOC-CH, members of the its Board publish a first position paper on August 24, 2022, and then a white paper on April 24, 2024. Both papers raise awareness and stimulate a discussion on the situation of social sciences and humanities research infrastructures in Switzerland, the Swiss roadmap process, and possible improvements of the way in which projects for research infrastructures are funded. Download and read the position paper here. Download and read the white paper here.
The European Commission has initiated a public consultation on a new “European Strategy for Research and Technology Infrastructures”, according to an announcement from the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SBFI).
About the strategy 🔎
A key objective of the strategy is the further development and strengthening of Europe’s ecosystem of research and technology infrastructures, which serve as critical foundations for innovation and scientific advancement.
The aim of the consultation is to gather more information about the functioning and sustainability of the European research and technology infrastructure landscape. This includes the issues and challenges involved in strengthening the ecosystem of these infrastructures, as well as possible solutions.
Stakeholders are invited to address the following specific questions:
-
Do you agree with the identified main problems and needs for the European Strategy on Research and Technology Infrastructures?
-
Are there any additional challenges faced by research infrastructures and technology infrastructures that a European strategy should address, especially in relation to Europe’s main competitors?
-
Does the proposed set of actions adequately address these issues? Would other actions be needed at EU level?
Interested parties can participate in the public consultation, which runs from April 24 to May 22, 2025.
The European Commission plans to publish the finalized strategy in the third quarter of 2025. Additional information about technology infrastructures is available on the European Commission’s website.

The first SSHOC-CH GA and its satellite event successfully took place on April 11, 2025, in Bern.
The GA was chaired by Georg Lutz, director of FORS and president of SSHOC-CH. He noted the increasing visibility of SSHOC-CH in the research community and emphasized the progress made since its founding on April 24, 2024. Georg Lutz presented the 2024 Annual Report (read the report here).
The association made significant progress, especially considering it was built from the ground up. A contract was signed with the Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Geschichte (SGG) to handle administrative tasks. A bank account was opened, a communication process was established, and two working groups were formed: Outreach & Communication, and Policy. As for the Policy working group, a white paper was finalized to outline guiding principles, and a position paper was developed to participate in the national roadmap process. Although no concrete results emerged, the goal was to establish SSHOC-CH’s presence and promote project ideas. An event on the national roadmap process was held successfully in December 2024, and approximately 5-6 projects from the SSH domain were submitted for the 2027 Roadmap selection process. On the communication front, the SSHOC-CH website was launched, featuring the members list and participating institutions. Social media presence was also initiated on LinkedIn and Bluesky.
The Board presented the work plan for 2025, highlighting the need for active member involvement. Priorities include exploring SSHOC-CH’s integration into the European Open Science Clould (EOSC), following up on the national roadmap process and engaging with institutions on funding mechanisms, enhancing the website, publishing newsletters, and improving social media, increasing membership, establishing working groups to address key issues relevant for the SSHOC-CH community, and preparing for the development of an institutional membership model.
The SSHOC-CH Board proposed the election of Beat Immenhauser, Co-General Secretary of SAGW, to the SSHOC-CH Board for the 2025–2026 term. Beat Immenhauser accepted the nomination and expressed enthusiasm for contributing to SSHOC-CH and strengthening institutional liaison. The assembly approved the proposal unanimously without abstentions
In the end, Georg Lutz reflected on the direction of SSHOC-CH. He acknowledged the difficulty of achieving coordination without dedicated resources, despite voluntary efforts. He emphasized that participation is open and encouraged all members to get involved to avoid duplication of work. SSHOC-CH remains a pioneering initiative in Switzerland and is among the first in Europe, after the European SSHOC and SSHOC-NL (Netherlands).
SSHOC-CH satellite event
The satellite event was chaired by Cristina Grisot (CLARIN-CH and DARIAH-CH, vice-chair of SSHOC-CH) and welcomed two keynote presentations: Johannes Paulmann (NFDI4Memory consortium, Germany) and by Lucas van der Meer (ODISSEI and SSHOC-NL, Netherlands).
Johannes Paulmann, spokesperson for the NFDI4Memory consortium for historically working sciences as part of the development of a National Research Data Infrastructure. 4Memory represents not only the field of history as such but also other disciplines that make use of historical data as part of their methodologies, such as economic and social history, religious studies, and area studies. It aims to ensure the quality of historical research data, thereby safeguarding the critical role of the humanities in complex, rapidly changing societies. Johannes Paulmann explained the bottom-up creation of the NFDI4Memory consortium and how the project was built to serve the needs of the scientific community
