The Societal Challenge ‘Europe in a changing world - Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies’ of the Horizon 2020 programme addresses social exclusion, discriminations and various forms of inequalities.

Research in this area will explore new forms of innovation and strengthen the evidence base for the Innovation Union, the European Research Area and other relevant EU policies. It will also promote coherent and effective cooperation with third countries. Finally, it will address the issues of memories, identities, tolerance and cultural heritage. To promote new ideas, strategies and governance structures for overcoming the crisis in Europe is also covered by this challenge.
