MORESS - Mapping of Research in European Social Sciences and Humanities

Welcome to the MORESS website.

The project MORESS ("Mapping of Research in European Social Sciences and Humanities") is an important contribution to the endeavour to establish a European Research Area in the social sciences and humanities. It has been conceived, organized and coordinated by the European University Association (EUA) with the aim to improve access to information on research in social sciences and humanities. Through bringing together multiple sources of information in Europe into an integrated structure, MORESS aims to provide useful tools for interested researchers and decision-makers, and to enhance the future quality of European research.

The main function is to give access to all users to a catalogue of databases in social sciences and humanities (SSH). This catalogue was made possible with the participation of 25 partners from different European countries (see "Partners" in the menu). In the section, "European Databases", you will find different options to search or browse the catalogue of databases. Usage tips at the bottom of each page will help you in using these tools to attain the desired databases information.

Beyond developing the catalogue of databases, the MORESS project, funded by the Directorate-General for Research of the European Commission from April 2003 to September 2005, had the objective to identify strengths and gaps in terms of access to information from SSH databases in the different participating countries. More information on the project can be found under the section "MORESS- The Project".
