Cluster 2 – Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Society

Cluster 2, ‘Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society’ aims to meet EU goals and priorities on enhancing democratic governance and citizens participation, on the safeguarding and promotion of cultural heritage, and to respond to and shape multifaceted social, economic, technological and cultural transformations.

The Cluster aims to meet UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), many of which have an impact on culture, creativity and inclusive societies. SSH integration is an integral part and one of the main goals of this Cluster.

Cluster 2 is organized in 3 destinations:

Destination 1: Innovative Research on Democracy and Governance

Destination 2: Innovative Research on the European Cultural Heritage and the Cultural and Creative Industries

Destination 3: Innovative Research on Social and Economic Transformations
