Calls for proposals: Enhancing Europe's Capacity to Tackle Demographic and Societal Change |
|
21 June 2012
The aim of this call for proposals is to co-finance a partnership that can promote greater awareness of demographic and societal challenges and possible policy responses in the European Union among policy makers and lay audiences. The grant funding will be offered to one project managed by a partnership made up of not-for-profit research bodies, public institutions and civil society organisations.
The partnership should focus on collection and dissemination of key facts, figures, trends and policy analysis regarding demographic change across the EU with the aim of reaching a wide non-specialist audience and promoting a well-informed public debate on its implications and appropriate policy responses among the general public in all Member States at all levels of government.
The partnership could aim at preparing short web-oriented presentations that conveyed essential messages on demographic trends and the need to mitigate and adapt to them. The partnership should also organise events where scientists and policy-makers can discuss the body of knowledge in demography and can identify research areas that are relevant to shaping the European economic and social system.
• Deadline for application: 11th September 2012.
• Projects must start in 2013. Estimated project start date is 1 January 2013.

Call for proposals: Social Experimentation projects |

3 October 2011
The European Commission has launched a call for large-scale transnational projects testing socially innovative approaches to four priority areas.
Social inclusion of vulnerable groups, such as Roma people, migrants and their descendants, homeless and young people.
Quality of childcare services: this has great impacts on child well-being, but also gender equality, poverty in jobless households, employment rates, birth rates and on long term sustainable development by supporting the development of human potential.
Active and healthy ageing: this depends on various factors, such as life habits, working conditions or urban policies and represents a major condition in order to extend working lives and to reduce social protection expenditures.
Transition from education to work for the youth as only a multidimensional policy approach combining actions on the education framework, the labour market, families can be successful.
