Pillar 3. Societal challenges

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

Societal challenges:

Health, demographic change and wellbeing

Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research

and the bioeconomy

Secure, clean and efficient energy

Smart, green and integrated transport

Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials

Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective societies

Secure societies - protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens
