Call for proposals
Horizon 2020 – Science with and For Society – “Science with and for Society” - H2020-SWAFS-2018-2020
Objective and description
New
topics have been opened for submission of proposals under the Horizon
2020 Programme within the pillar “Science with and For Society”, within
the call for proposals “Science with and for Society” -
H2020-SWAFS-2018-2020.
The aim of the call is to help
citizens, organisations and territories to open a new chapter of their
development through joint research and innovation activities in five
strategic orientations:
1. Accelerating and catalysing processes of institutional change.
(relevant for all 8 topics in this section of the SwafS Work Programme i.e. SwafS-01-2018-2019 to SwafS-08-2019 inclusive)
This
part will contribute to implementing the RRI keys (public engagement,
science education, ethics including research integrity, gender equality,
and open access) through institutional governance changes in Research
Funding and Performing Organisations (RFPOs) in an integrated way and to
disseminate good practices.
2. Stepping up support to Gender Equality in Research & Innovation policy.
(relevant for all 5 topics in this section of the SwafS Work Programme i.e. SwafS-09-2018-2019 to SwafS-13-2019 inclusive)
Actions
will be adapted to catalyse the changes in response to the three
objectives: gender equality in scientific careers, gender balance in
decision making, and the integration of the gender dimension in research
content. Additionally, considering the evolution of the research
systems in Europe, gender aspects of scientific careers and
decision-making processes will be investigated to gather updated
evidence for future policy action. Finally, a major and recent challenge
is to better integrate the gender dimension in research and innovation
programmes and projects.
3. Building the territorial dimension of SwafS partnerships.
(relevant for both topics in this section of the SwafS Work Programme i.e. SwafS-14-2018-2019 and SwafS-22-2018)
SwafS
will encourage partnerships between universities, formal and informal
education institutions (including primary and secondary schools),
science museums and centres, governments and public authorities
(including regional and local administrations), businesses (including
industry and the service sector) and CSOs operating at local, national
and European levels.
4. Exploring and supporting citizen science.
(relevant for both topics in this section of the SwafS Work Programme i.e. SwafS-15-2018-2019 and SwafS-16-2019)
This
strategic orientation will focus on the meanings, mechanisms and
challenges facing citizen science from local to European and global
levels, learning from on-going experiences and innovative grassroots
initiatives. Potential aspects to explore include how citizen science
can act as a catalyst to develop scientific skills and competences, act
as a tool for informal and formal science education of young people and
adults, counter perceived anti-intellectual attitudes in society, raise
the scientific literacy of European citizens, and promote social
inclusion and employability.
5. Building the knowledge base for SwafS
(relevant for all 5 topics in this section of the SwafS Work Programme i.e. SwafS-17-2019 to SwafS-21-2018 inclusive)
This
strategic orientation will examine how societal actors, including young
people, behave, understand, react to and interact with science and
scientific developments, and their motives for engaging in
science-related activities. This includes investigating science
communication and science advocacy in the digital world and how science
and technology studies and different disciplines (e.g. behavioural
sciences, communication studies, gender studies, linguistics, and social
anthropology) – and multi/transdisciplinary approaches – can help
explain interactions between science and society.
The following topics are open for submission:
