The EU Missions are a novelty of the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme looking at new ways to tackle key challenges of our modern societies: regions and communities’ adaptation to climate change, oceans and waters, climate-neutral and smart cities, and soil. Their aim is to deliver concrete results by 2030. How? By putting research and innovation into a new role in combination with new forms of governance and collaboration, and with a strong component of citizen engagement.
