In the light of increasing economic and social inequalities and regional disparities in terms of both economic and other outcomes and opportunities, research should analyse the main reasons for the increasing inequalities reported in the last decades worldwide and, thereby, identify whether this is primarily policy driven and/or the result of different factors related to globalisation and technological innovations. More specifically, research should examine whether inequality dynamics are determined by different trends.

Providing support in a changing world of work and social protection

Innovative research is needed to explore and provide new insights into the impact of change on reducing socio-economic inequality, the consequences of growing poverty, protecting people from all forms of hardship, and the self-employed as needed to move towards more stable employment relationships in the European labor market and related welfare systems, in order to ensure that welfare systems are adapted accordingly and continue to fulfill the above roles.

Estimates of irregular migrants in Europe – stakeholder network

Code: 10802 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2021-TRANSFORMATIONS-01-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 22/06/2021 | End submission calls: 07/10/2021

Irregular migrants are, by definition, difficult to capture in population statistics,  and so it remains unknown how many irregular migrants are in the EU and in the various EU Member States today. This is a challenge, for the policymakers as they have limited capacity to develop policies targeted to a group of people that is ill-defined. This is even more challenging in situations such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
Proposals should comparatively assess legal frameworks across the EU that determine the irregular status of migrants, and comprehensively assess their impact.

Coordination of European cultural heritage research and innovation among Member States

The European Union has provided funding through co-financing programs to coordinate national research and innovation activities on cultural heritage, the arts and to increase their impact, which should be assessed in order to agree further coordination and partnerships with Member States. and associated countries.
Proposals under this topic are expected to realise a mapping of national activities pertaining to cultural heritage, provenance research, architecture, as well as programmes and European ERA-Net Co-funding schemes on cultural heritage R&I.

Mobilising the network of National Contact Points in Cluster 2

Proposals should aim to facilitate trans-national co-operation between National Contact Points (NCPs) in the areas covered by Horizon Europe Cluster 2 ‘Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society’, with a view to identifying and sharing good practices and raising the general standard of support to programme applicants. In addition, the action will provide important feedback on issues relating to programme planning, design and evaluation.

Preserving and enhancing cultural heritage with advanced digital technologies

Digital technologies, from 3D simulation to artificial intelligence and virtual/augmented reality, are being used to ensure preservation and wide access to cultural heritage and the arts. Τhere is a need to expand and further support the application of digital tools to preserve cultural heritage and to make it widely accessible. The relation between cultural heritage and its digitised format through the experience of audiences is of particular interest. 

Cultural and creative industries as a driver of innovation and competitiveness

Closed

The cultural and creative industries (CCI) are an important source of growth and job creation in the European economy. The growth of this sector has raised interest at policy level for its innovation potential and for contributing to improved competitiveness. The challenge is to understand how to realise the full potential of CCIs as a driver for innovation, create stronger links with other sectors and contribute to strengthening the European economy, society and its sustainability.

New ways of participatory management and sustainable financing of museums and other cultural institutions

Closed

Code: 10785 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL2-2021-HERITAGE-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Societies (Cluster 2)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 22/06/2021 | End submission calls: 07/10/2021

Museums and other cultural institutions (such as libraries, galleries, archives, memorial sites, etc.) play a key-role in social inclusion and cohesion. Nowadays, museums and other cultural institutions are facing several challenges such as scarce funding, new legal obligations with regard to their collections insufficient numbers of visitors or, to the other extreme, massive tourist crowds, which necessitate new and expensive conservation means and security tools. All these challenges are threatening the existence and efficient work of museums and other cultural institutions. Therefore, there is a pressing need to ensure methods of sustainable financing in order to help museums and other cultural institutions recover quickly, continue operate in a safe and viable way and widen as much as possible access to citizens.

Green technologies and materials for cultural heritage

Materials and methods for the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage can often be energy consuming, not environmentally friendly or even harmful for the health of operators and curators. Moreover, many of these materials and methods prove to be neither durable nor sustainable, often leading to repetitive and costly restoration of artefacts, monuments and heritage sites. Research has already addressed this challenge to a certain extent; yet, the wide range of materials, types of buildings and monuments, and the specific needs of artefacts call for further investigation and tailored solutions.

Politics and governance in a post-pandemic world

The COVID-19 crisis affects societies in multifaceted ways. Specifically, affects the public health threat, the economic dislocations, social disruptions and information disorder that test political processes and institutions.  In addition, the crisis also opens opportunities for positive change and innovative new solutions that research actions will help to identify and grasp. In this vein, research should examine the impact of the pandemic on populist and extremist discourses and proposals, and assess whether it has bolstered polarisation and the appeal of authoritarianism or whether, on the contrary, it has provided impetus and momentum for an effective uphold of democratic accountability and judicial control.
Moreover, a stocktaking exercise should allow identifying whether the political trend emerging from the crisis is a demand for greater and improved collaboration and concerted action amongst EU Member States and Associated Countries or, on the contrary, an overall “renationalisation” of the EU and international spheres.

Democratic politics in the EU’s neighbourhood

Despite the hopes raised by the ‘colour revolutions’ in Eastern Europe in the 2000s and the Arab Spring in 2011 as boosters of democratisation in the European neighbourhood, a more troubling reality persists: some democratic advances coexist with the continued persistence of authoritarian rule in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North African countries. Research should assess the EU’s actual role in promoting democracy. 

Feminisms for a new age of democracy

Gender equality is a fundamental value of the European Union and lies at the core of European democracy. At the same time, however, there has been a societal and political backlash against feminism centred around traditionalist, masculinist and authoritarian discourses. Research is needed on the theory and practice of feminism(s), in the face of a changed and changing reality in the EU and beyond, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to contribute to the European Green Deal objectives of climate-neutrality, sustainability, prosperity and inclusiveness, cities will have to undergo a rapid and radical transformation and come up with creative, sustainable and collaborative solutions.  A well co-designed public space provides the unique opportunity to improve its climate-neutrality, while increasing their attractiveness and social inclusiveness. As promoted by the New European Bauhaus initiative, a systemic co-designed approach to ‘quality climate-neutral urban transformation’ can create living space, where the best technical performances meet citizens’ social, emotional, cultural and aesthetic needs and values.
