The latest developments concerning EU FP 7 can be followed on the Cordis website, on a very instructive flowchart  (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/flowchart.htm).

The provisional wording of "Topic 8 - Socio-economic sciences and the Humanities" can be looked at in the "amended proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and the Council" (ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/ec_fp7_amended_en.pdf).
