Democratic governance for times of disruptive changes to the social contract

Closed

Code: 25833 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2023-DEMOCRACY-01-06 | 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

A social contract is the intellectual construct referring to the agreement between members of a society, community, or organisation that spells out the obligations, functions, and rights of each citizen agreeing to the contract. The classic concept of social contract also implies the notion of the individual renunciation of some freedoms, in exchange for core public goods, including the right to democratic participation and the protection that societal life can offer. When the social contract fails to uphold its end of the bargain and leaves its citizens disappointed, there is a risk of social unrest and political instability.

This topic aims at supporting the development of new concepts for a research infrastructure at European level, to manage, integrate and sustain large medical cohort studies. The possibility to extend the scope of already existing infrastructures and/or integrate in a sustainable way existing pan-European and national capacities to cover this need and provide RI services for large medical cohort studies should be assessed as a first option, identifying what is missing and the necessary new developments. Such an infrastructure will also enable an appropriate exploitation of past investments by EU framework programmes or other European funders on the development of medical cohorts.

Τhe action should ensure the implementation of a European Manifesto for STEAM education and career paths to tackle gender inequalities among relevant R&I actors, through the adoption of common principles and actions on gender-inclusive STEAM education, research and innovation. Particular attention should also be paid to addressing bottleneck moments and structural barriers in young researchers’ careers.

Policy support to facilitate the implementation of a zero-tolerance approach towards gender-based violence in the ERA

Closed

Code: 25766 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-ERA-01-09 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 06/12/2022 | End submission calls: 09/03/2023

Gender-based violence (GBV), including sexual harassment, sexual assault and psychological violence, occurs at all career levels of higher education and research and in all disciplines.
With the institutional change approach through gender equality plans, measures to address GBV (e.g., through a code of conduct or a protocol for complaints), are expected to advance among R&I organisations, as they are recommended components of these plans, defined in the Horizon Europe eligibility criteria. However, a more comprehensive and strategic policy coordination is needed to ensure that R&I entities in Member States and Associated Countries are supported in implementing the necessary institutional changes to foster safe and inclusive working environments in academia.

The overall objective is to identify gaps in practice and formulate proposals to enhance the capabilities of the existing ‘ethics infrastructure’ in Europe.
Support an effective adaptation of the ethics reviews to the evolution of scientific research, notably due to the emergence of new areas of research and new forms of research collaborations.
The emergence of new areas of research and development, including in the areas of gene editing and artificial intelligence, and the shift of research activities and collaborations to the online digital space, challenge the future of research ethics reviews. Ethics should focus on the adherence to values and principles and not be a legal compliance mechanism.
