Description
This Horizon Europe Innovation Action funds projects that identify, assess, and scale up promising innovations, methodologies, and tools from previous EU-funded migration research. The call aims to bridge the gap between research and policy implementation by fostering collaboration among researchers, policymakers, practitioners, civil society, the private sector, and representatives of migrants and refugees. Projects should adapt and deploy validated models for migration management in diverse EU, national, and local contexts, with activities such as pilots, policy labs, and co-creation processes. Emphasis is placed on structured dialogue for knowledge transfer, ethical standards, gender-sensitive and intersectional approaches, and plans for further application of solutions at both national and EU levels.
