In addition, through the implementation of the Programme the following are expected:

• the creation of clusters for the development of new centres of excellence with significant prospects in the coming years,
• the accessibility of the R&I ecosystem to state-of-the-art research equipment that enhances research excellence and innovation capacity in specific thematic areas.
• creating a critical mass of researchers in cutting-edge sectors and creating jobs for young scientists;
• the possible attraction of high-level research staff to Cyprus,
• to promote effective research collaboration at national level, and
• expanding the potential of involved organisations to attract additional competitive funds for research and innovation from other funding sources.

Fostering socio-economic development and job creation in rural and remote areas through cultural tourism

Code: 25879 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-05 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 14/03/2023

Cultural and creative approaches for gender-responsive STEAM education

Code: 25875 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-08 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 14/03/2023

Women have long played an important, but often unacknowledged role in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Whilst women are overall well represented in many cultural professions, certain cultural and creative sectors which demand more digital and technological skills, such as the gaming and filming industry, still see a stark underrepresentation of women in these fields, as well as persisting gender stereotypes in the content that is produced.
In order to improve girls’ participation and interest in these fields from an early age, a STEAM approach, featuring creative thinking, and a scientific evidence-based approach, applied arts, and the teaching of science in political, environmental, socio-cultural contexts, can prove particularly useful.

Promoting cultural literacy through arts education to foster social inclusion

Code: 25871 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-07 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 14/03/2023

Τhe challenge is to better understand the value of cultural literacy on social cohesion and inclusion, how we could exploit its benefits through arts in education and what are the best practices/ policies to further integrate it in school and out of school activities. Education and education policies are a key to increasing resilience and cohesion in Europe, however, cultural literacy in education differs among the European countries, while the current policies in Europe commonly have a narrow and normative notion on how to implement this in practice.

Re-visiting the digitisation of cultural heritage: What, how and why?

Code: 25869 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 14/03/2023

The cultural heritage sector, as the rest of society, finds itself in the midst of a dramatic digital transition. This transition deeply affects its activities, its organisation, and at times the purpose or existence of its institutions and subsectors.

Cultural and creative industries for a sustainable climate transition

Code: 25867 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 14/03/2023

The cultural and creative industries (CCIs) are an important source of growth and job creation in the European economy. Moreover, the CCIs play a key role in shaping culture, values and perceptions across the European Union and beyond. Thus, the role of the CCIs in achieving the European Union’s climate transition objectives is crucial.

Code: 25864 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 16/03/2023

Remote technologies with emphasis on non-destructive techniques should focus on obtaining analytical chemical information regarding pollutants and/or degradation products from previous interventions in monuments, buildings or large size cultural objects, which are not easily accessible or in remote places for representative sampling. Remote chemical mapping should be included too.

Intersectionality and equality in deliberative and participatory democratic spaces

Code: 25855 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-DEMOCRACY-01-07 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 14/03/2023

There has been a recent push to overcome the limits of representative democracy and reinvigorate democratic participation through participatory and deliberative democratic innovations at local, regional, national and European level. Such processes have aimed to bring power and decision-making closer to citizens, and have contributed to reimagining the meaning of democracy and to further fostering the involvement of citizens in democratic life.
Proposals should contribute to reinvigorating democracy and enhancing citizen participation by designing, envisioning and piloting processes of democratic innovation where overcoming the accumulation and intersection of discrimination or stigmatisation is a core part of the process.

The climate imperative and its impact on democratic governance

Code: 25845 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-DEMOCRACY-01-05 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/12/2022 | End submission calls: 14/03/2023

Proposals under this topic should help reinvigorate democratic governance by suggesting pathways for improved effectiveness of rule-of-law based institutions and policies, notably pathways for open government practices that enable active civic participation throughout the policymaking process. They should help strengthen social and economic resilience and sustainability through a better understanding of the relationship between democratic governance and the climate imperative.
