•
Priority 3. Societal challenges
Concerns of citizens and society/EU
policy objectives (climate,
environment, energy, transport etc.)
cannot be achieved without
innovation
€30bn
Health, demographic change and wellbeing
€7,472
Food security, sustainable agriculture,
marine and maritime research & the bio
economy
€3,851
Secure, clean and efficient energy
Breakthrough solutions come from
multi-disciplinary collaborations,
Smart, green and integrated transport
including social sciences & humanities
Promising solutions need to be
tested, demonstrated and scaled up
