Τhe transition towards a “sustainability paradigm” should be supported, identifying the socio-economic inequalities and the distribution of benefits of economic growth between individuals, also taking into account the environmental impacts and limits of such growth. Research efforts should identify and propose indicators to measure well-being and sustainable development, accounting also for the measurement framework in the “beyond GDP” approaches.

Representative democracy in flux

Closed

Code: 17969 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2022-DEMOCRACY-01-08 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 20/01/2022 | End submission calls: 20/04/2022

The last decades have witnessed significant changes in the electoral behaviour of citizens. As societies have become more connected and individualistic, with an ever fast-paced development of digital technologies, new political forces, discourses and voting preferences have emerged. While many of the identities and certainties of the past are eroding, new cleavages have marked the political landscape of representative democracies. This apparent state of flux brings multiple challenges but also opportunities for the future of our democracies.

Socio-economic effects of ageing societies

Closed

Code: 17964 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2022-TRANSFORMATIONS-01-10 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 20/01/2022 | End submission calls: 20/04/2022

Proposals under this topic should analyse, with an interdisciplinary approach, the changing demographic profile of Europe, paying attention to the heterogeneous trends and developments in the different Member States and Associated countries (ideally at regional level). Projects should consider the structural changes required to adapt in the medium term to ageing societies.

Strengthening racial, ethnic and religious equality

Code: 17953 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2022-TRANSFORMATIONS-01-08 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 20/01/2022 | End submission calls: 20/04/2022

High levels of racism, xenophobia, as well as institutionalised or structural discrimination are linked to inequality and shape social and economic outcomes of individuals from minority backgrounds. They also have negative effects on security, quality of life and social cohesion. Proposals should focus on various manifestations of racism and xenophobia, including one or more among anti-Black, anti-migrant, anti-Muslim, antisemitism, anti-Gypsyism.

Μacro-level determinants of migration have linked structural factors and a number of social processes to migration outcomes. However, there is a scarcity of research that considers the way in which meso-social and micro-individual levels interact with each other and with macro-level determinants, and play a role in shaping decisions to migrate, or not.

Code: 17942 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2022-DEMOCRACY-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 20/01/2022 | End submission calls: 20/04/2022

Projects should enhance and expand the implementation of civic participation as well as co-creation in democratic life at scale, including the least engaged communities and categories of the population, at all levels from local to European. Improve the articulation between deliberative processes and representative institutions in liberal democracies, including through experimental approaches. Research should elucidate how to open up traditional institutions of representative democracy and increase trust in democratic governance through direct participatory processes as well as clear and transparent feedback mechanisms to citizens.

Social platforms and new media are increasingly perceived as conducive to the creation of ideological “echo-chambers” eroding the space for public dialogue. They are seen as fostering polarisation, radicalisation, depoliticisation, spreading misinformation and subject to manipulation. At the same time, they have been used in attempts to covertly influence the political choices of citizens, thus sapping their democratic credentials.

Evolution of political extremism and its influence on contemporary social and political dialogue

Closed

Code: 17788 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2022-DEMOCRACY-01-05 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 20/01/2022 | End submission calls: 20/04/2022

Political extremists often show disdain for the rights and liberties of others but resent the limitations of their own activities. More extreme forms embrace engagement in ideologically driven criminal activity and violence. Some of the greater impacts of extreme narratives on society stem from their influence on mainstream political discourses and policies.
