Effective communication, dissemination, and exploitation – successful valorisation of knowledge and research results in Horizon Europe

Communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities are an integral part of Horizon Europe projects to maximise the impacts of the EU research & innovation funding, deriving from the Implementation Strategy for Horizon Europe and principles of the European Research Area (ERA) that aims to create a single, borderless market for research, innovation and technology across the EU.

Opportunities for Social Sciences and Humanities – Horizon Europe (Cluster 2 & SSH integration) and beyond

As the European Union is currently facing many complex challenges, the role of social sciences and humanities (SSH) is crucial to understand rapid and structural transformations of the European societies and to prepare evidence-based policy responses.

To foster the role of SSH, the EU issued several programs and grant schemes supporting researchers, innovators and civil organizations engaged in social sciences and humanities, including a special place for SSH in Horizon Europe, the biggest research and innovation program of the EU.

Gender Equality Plan – How to develop and implement a Gender Equality Plan in a research institution?

Webinar “Gender equality in European Research, Innovation and Higher Education. How to enhance scientific excellence through Gender Equality Plans?”

The EU is committed to advancing gender equality in all areas, the Research and Innovation (R&I) sector being no exception. Despite the progress achieved, many structural barriers to gender equality in research and innovation persist. The She Figures 2021 report provides data and analysis for approximately 88 indicators monitoring the state of gender equality in R&I across Europe. A new indicator shows that women represented less than a quarter of self-employed professionals in Science and Engineering (S&E) and ICT. Furthermore, gender equality has been mainstreamed in the Horizon Europe programme, i.e. by Gender Equality Plans.
