ABSTRACT The focus on ‘inclusive, innovative and secure societies’ provides a highly welcome challenge to the social sciences and humanities (SSH). This societal challenge is well justifi ed not only because these qualities are particularly vital for future European society, but as important- ly, because the relationship between these three characteristics is crucial and hitherto understudied. Inclusion, innovation and se- curity are frequently studied by separate research communities (and similarly po- litically addressed independent of one another), but already existing research in these various fi elds support the premise that they are closely linked. Some links are based on synergies, where, say, inclusion and security are important conditions for inno- vation, or growth through innova- tion can enable further inclusion and security. At other points, tensions can be identifi ed, e.g. when some forms of innova- tion or security potentially marginalise certain groups and thus reduce inclusion. 73
