In Evidence

H2020

The European Commission published the draft work programme 2016-2017 of societal challenge 6 in Horizon 2020

This Societal Challenge 6 Work Programme addresses key challenges of the beginning of 21st century like radicalisation and migration that appear in cross-cutting way in several Topics throughout the Work Programme and complementarily with Societal Challenge 7 - Secure societies "Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens". Many of the Topics of this Work Programme aim also to reduce the gap between institutions and citizens - through better understanding, analysis and practical solutions - in order to build a more trustful European society. Many Topics also integrate the gender dimension as a key element of inclusive societies.
