La Commissione europea ha ufficialmente pubblicato il Work Programme 2025 di Horizon Europe dedicato alla cultura, creatività e società inclusiva. Il Programma di lavoro vuole finanziare progetti che mirano a soddisfare gli obiettivi e le priorità dell’Unione europea in materia di rafforzamento della governance democratica e della partecipazione dei cittadini, di tutela e promozione del patrimonio culturale e di risposta e definizione delle molteplici trasformazioni sociali, economiche, tecnologiche e culturali. Inoltre, punta a mobilitare competenze multidisciplinari nell’ambito delle scienze sociali e umanistiche europee (SSH) per comprendere le trasformazioni contemporanee fondamentali della società, dell’economia, della politica e della cultura e mira a fornire opzioni politiche basate su dati concreti per una transizione e una ripresa verde e digitale socialmente giusta e inclusiva.
Il Work Programme è strutturato su 3 Destinations (macro obiettivi):

- Innovative Research on the European Cultural Heritage and the Cultural and Creative Industries: will support research and innovation to boost sustainable growth and job creation through the cultural and creative industries;
