The European Commission has launched an open public consultation on the potential priorities for the Horizon 2020 ‘Science with and for Society’ work programme of Horizon 2020 covering the period 2016-2017.

“The aim of this consultation is to obtain views and contributions from a broad constituency on the potential priorities for the ‘Science with and For Society’ work programme part covering the period 2016-2017. These contributions will complement the opinion provided by an External Advisory Group of high level experts set up by the Commission according to article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1291/2013 establishing Horizon 2020. 

The present consultation is structured around a set of questions, which take into account the policy thrust and general framework set by Europe 2020, Innovation Union and the European Research Area, and builds upon the Science with and for Society part of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2014-2015.”
