Why:
•
•
•
Priority 3. Societal challenges
Concerns of citizens and society/EU
policy objectives (climate,
environment, energy, transport etc.)
cannot be achieved without
innovation
€30bn
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
Breakthrough solutions come from
multi-disciplinary collaborations,
Smart, green and integrated transport
including social sciences & humanities
Promising solutions need to be
tested, demonstrated and scaled up
€5,931
€6,339
Climate action, resource efficiency and raw
materials
€3,081
Inclusive, innovative and secure societies
€3,005

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;
