Cluster 2 Work Programme 2025
Under the Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe, Cluster 2 “Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society” aims to meet EU goals and priorities on enhancing democratic governance and citizens participation, on the safeguarding and promotion of cultural heritage, and to respond to and shape multifaceted social, economic, technological and cultural transformations.
Cluster 2 mobilises multidisciplinary expertise of European social sciences and humanities (SSH) for understanding fundamental contemporary transformations of society, economy, politics and culture. It aims to provide evidence-based policy options for a socially just and inclusive European green and digital transition and post-COVID 19 recovery. Future projects should deliver on the three intervention areas matching the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan (2025-2027):
- Green transition
- Digital transition
- A more resilient, competitive, inclusive and democratic Europe
All topics under this Cluster are expected to mainstream Social Sciences and Humanities and to include a gender dimension.
