The advent of the Horizon 2020 research-funding program offers social sciences and humanities scholars (SSH) in the European Union (EU) an unparalleled opportunity to collaborate with science and engineering to address profound societal challenges while advancing knowledge. How they respond to this opportunity will matter greatly for scholarship, for science, and for society. More than Euros and European scholarship are at stake: in the United States, the SSH have suffered a debilitating decline in fortune and public esteem. Strong and integrated European SSH research, conducted in collaboration with engineering and sciences, will invigorate our fields in a way that may cross the Atlantic and spark their resurgence in the United States. Scholars in Science and Technology Studies (STS) have a catalytic and formative role to play in Horizon 2020 because they are experienced in the design, conduct, and analysis of collaborations that extend from SSH across the sciences and engineering, and then outward to engage policy makers, practitioners, and members of the public. Let me describe the Horizon program and the Vilnius Declaration and then outline some ways STS can contribute. Over the next seven years, Horizon 2020 will invest about €70B to support research and innovation, with €28B earmarked for seven major societal challenges (in brief: food safety and security, health and well-being, energy
