Experimental local action for EU missions: knowledge institutions as focal points of transdisciplinary research and innovation activities with European outreach
Cross-cutting actions (2) · HORIZON-RIA · Needs partners
What this call funds
This call funds research and innovation projects led by universities or research organisations that work with local stakeholders (businesses, civil society, public services) to advance one of the EU's big societal missions on cancer, climate adaptation, climate-neutral cities, oceans, or soil. The idea is to test new, non-technological approaches at a local or regional level, bringing hard-to-reach groups into EU-level research efforts, and then feed lessons learned back into the wider European mission community.
