Historical and regional analyses of industrial transitions and their lessons for ensuring a fair green transition

This Horizon Europe call examines historical and regional industrial transitions to derive lessons for ensuring a fair and inclusive green transition under the European Green Deal. Proposals should analyze past and ongoing industrial transformations, focusing on policy measures, regional responses, and collaborative approaches to managing transitions. The objective is to equip policymakers and stakeholders with actionable insights to mitigate the socio-economic risks of the green transition, such as labor market imbalances and regional disparities.

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.

Expected Outcome

  • Policy guidance: Provide policymakers with analyses and recommendations based on past industrial transitions to inform strategies for a fair green transition.
  • Regional insights: Improve understanding of regional responses, including mobility patterns and labor market adjustments, to seize opportunities and address risks.
  • Social strategies: Offer evidence on collaborative approaches, social dialogue, and compromises that contributed to successful transitions.
  • Economic adaptation: Highlight strategies for business model diversification and local job creation during transitions.

Scope

  • Analyze past and present industrial transformations to identify successful policies that mitigated negative externalities.
  • Study regional responses, including labor mobility, upskilling initiatives, and workforce dynamics, with a focus on gender perspectives.
  • Evaluate firm adaptation strategies, emphasizing how businesses can transition without closure by adopting circular, resource-efficient models.
  • Investigate collaborative and participatory approaches, such as social dialogue and collective bargaining, in managing transitions.
  • Explore the role of key megatrends (e.g., demographic changes, labor-saving technologies) in shaping industrial transformations.
  • Adopt an interdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from history, sociology, economics, and geography.
