The Horizon Europe call "Intergenerational fairness in the context of demographic change in the EU" invites research and innovation actions addressing the critical challenge of demographic change and its impact on intergenerational equity within the EU. This call emphasizes understanding and mitigating disparities among generations in light of an aging population, growing economic imbalances, and fast-evolving societal changes such as technological advancements and climate adaptation.
The call seeks comprehensive analyses of drivers impacting intergenerational fairness, such as education, labor market outcomes, wealth distribution, housing affordability, health, and environmental impacts. Proposals should apply an intersectional lens, ensuring inclusivity across gender, socioeconomic, and migration backgrounds, and may focus on regional or national dimensions.
Applicants are encouraged to develop measurable indicators, forecast trends, and propose or test innovative policy solutions. Collaboration with other projects in related areas is highly encouraged, leveraging data from European Research Infrastructures like SHARE and aligning with FAIR principles for data management.
Projects will provide actionable knowledge for policymakers to craft tailored interventions that enhance equity, inclusivity, and sustainability in Europe’s economic and social models. This call addresses a pressing need for an equitable framework across generations, fostering informed and inclusive decision-making.
