Green Transition and Climate Resilience

Context

Climate change and environmental degradation constitute a profound and accelerating threat to Europe’s prosperity, security, and well‑being. In response, the European Green Deal has set out a comprehensive and transformative roadmap to make Europe the first climate‑neutral continent by 2050, while promoting sustainable economic growth, reinforcing industrial competitiveness, and ensuring a fair and inclusive transition for all regions and communities.

Research and innovation are indispensable drivers of this transformation. Horizon Europe allocates a minimum of 35% of its budget to climate‑related activities and at least 10% to biodiversity, mobilising scientific excellence and innovation capacity to accelerate emissions reduction, strengthen climate resilience, restore ecosystems, and support Europe’s long‑term competitiveness. The work programmes of Pillar II (“Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness”) play a pivotal role in advancing the priorities of the green transition, while EU Missions and New European Bauhaus initiatives foster experimentation, citizen engagement, and the deployment of systemic solutions at scale.

This brokerage event targets applicants interested in submitting proposals related to the green transition and climate resilience across a range of fields, including health, climate and environment, energy, mobility, and cities, where multidisciplinary collaboration between SSH and STEM is key to success.

The event offers participants the opportunity to:

• gain a clearer understanding of the SSH research aspects of selected upcoming Horizon Europe topics relevant to the green transition
• receive practical guidance on building effective SSH–STEM collaboration
• connect with potential partners and initiate interdisciplinary consortia

A pitching session will be open to both SSH and STEM experts wishing to present their expertise or project ideas. This will provide added value for all participants by enabling a more immediate understanding of the diverse competencies involved and supporting the identification of suitable partners for future proposals.
