EC released new series of informational videos dedicated to Cluster 2
For researchers and innovators interested in applying to Horizon Europe calls under Cluster 2 “Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society”.
In addition to the announcement of the upcoming Information Day dedicated to the above-mentioned programme component, scheduled for 15 May 2025, Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine wishes to draw attention to the release of a new series of informational videos, prepared by representatives of the European Commission. These resources aim to support stakeholders in gaining a deeper understanding of the thematic priorities and funding opportunities available under Cluster 2 “Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society”, as set out in the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025-2027.
The videos provide practical and targeted information on the following aspects:
- thematic areas and the broader policy context of the forthcoming calls for proposals
- expected impacts, in line with the strategic objectives of EU policies
- a detailed analysis of the scope and anticipated outcomes of the pre-defined priorities
- indicative budgets and the expected number of projects to be funded within each thematic area
- recommendations regarding measures and approaches to be considered when preparing project proposals for the upcoming calls under Cluster 2 “Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society”.
This initiative forms part of the European Commission’s ongoing efforts to enhance the transparency of grant funding, strengthen the capacities of potential applicants, and encourage the submission of high-quality proposals that contribute to the European Union’s overarching objectives of fostering democratic governance, safeguarding cultural heritage, promoting social inclusion, and driving innovative social change:
