Summary: 7-year co-funded partnership supporting research and innovation on social transformations and resilience in Europe, addressing climate, digital, demographic, and social challenges.
This European Commission partnership funds a seven-year research and innovation programme aimed at addressing the major social transformations impacting Europe, including those driven by climate change, biodiversity loss, digitalisation, and demographic shifts. The initiative pools resources from national and regional research programmes to implement joint transnational calls, promoting interdisciplinary knowledge and long-term collaboration. The programme seeks to generate evidence-based knowledge, innovative solutions, and policy tools to strengthen social protection, essential services, the future of work, education and skills, and to ensure a fair transition to climate neutrality. It is closely aligned with EU priorities such as the European Pillar of Social Rights, the EU Green Deal, and several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
