Horizon 2020

Priority 3. Societal challenges €30bn Why: Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport etc.) cannot be achieved without innovation Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up Health, demographic change and wellbeing €7,472 Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bio economy €3,851 Secure, clean and efficient energy €5,931 Smart, green and integrated transport €6,339 Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials €3,081 Inclusive, innovative and secure societies €3,005 Environment Marine Energy

H2020 Societal Challenges 1. Health, demographic change and well-being; 2. Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the bioeconomy; 3. Secure, clean and efficient energy; 4. Smart, green and integrated transport; 5. Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials; 6. Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective societies; 7. Secure societies - protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens. Environment Marine Energy
