An Information Day will be held to introduce potential applicants to the 2025 work programme of Cluster 2: Culture, Creativity, and Inclusive Societies under Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe. This cluster supports EU priorities in democratic governance, citizen participation, cultural heritage, and societal transformations. It leverages social sciences and humanities (SSH) to address key challenges, providing evidence-based policy recommendations for a green and digital transition and post-COVID-19 recovery. Future projects will focus on three intervention areas: green transition, digital transition, and a more resilient, competitive, inclusive, and democratic Europe.

On 16 May 2025, an online brokerage event will facilitate consortium building for the 2025 calls. This event will feature an information session, pitch presentations, and bilateral meetings between participants interested in similar topics. A matchmaking tool will allow registered participants to schedule meetings. The event is organised by Net4SocietyHE, the network of National Contact Points for Cluster 2.

More information follows soon.
