Objective<\/h3>\n

\n
\n
\n

The aim of the call is to address the challenges linked to the compounded socioeconomic and cultural origins and effects in Europe in a context of globalisation and digitisation and to provide alternative policy options. R&I activities will provide new evidence and policy options in order to mitigate or support these transformations with a view to enhancing the diversity of cultures and social bonds, the existing or nascent social and cultural strengths of Europe, as well as reinforcing the social, cultural and economic benefits of the fourth industrial revolution. The call’s activities will also contribute to the objectives and the legacy of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 and to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Specific challenge<\/h3>\n

Social disadvantages and precariousness are to a large extent inherited whereby low educational attainment of both parents and children play a key role. There is ample evidence that children from less privileged social backgrounds trail behind in access and uptake of education. The challenge is to reverse this trend and to enhance upward social mobility by significantly improving access and uptake of education in Europe, in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights.<\/p>\n

Scope<\/h3>\n

b) Acci\u00f3n de coordinaci\u00f3n y apoyo<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Acci\u00f3n de Coordinaci\u00f3n y Apoyo se ejecutar\u00e1 en paralelo a las acciones de investigaci\u00f3n e innovaci\u00f3n e interactuar\u00e1 con ellas y promover\u00e1 la pol\u00edtica y la adopci\u00f3n de la investigaci\u00f3n para superar las desigualdades. Generar\u00e1 redes para la investigaci\u00f3n y desarrollo de pol\u00edticas y promover\u00e1 y supervisar\u00e1 orientaciones pol\u00edticas concretas para crear estrategias integradas en todo el sistema, cuando sea necesario.<\/p>\n

La Comisi\u00f3n considera que las propuestas que soliciten una contribuci\u00f3n de la UE del orden de los 3 millones de euros<\/strong> permitir\u00edan abordar adecuadamente este desaf\u00edo espec\u00edfico. Esto no impide la presentaci\u00f3n y selecci\u00f3n de propuestas que soliciten otras cantidades.<\/p>\n

a) Research and Innovation Action:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The research will focus on access and uptake of education from early childhood to adult education using the most appropriate methods and approaches. Education should be understood comprehensively, including formal and informal education publicly or privately provided. Any means of knowledge, skills and competences acquisition should be considered.<\/p>\n

The research should take into account the increasing diversity in Europe and complex interplay of the socio-economic status of parents, family configuration, geographical location, ethnicity, religion, language, traditions, cultural values, gender, disabilities, special educational needs, as well as differences between urban and rural environments.<\/p>\n

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU in the order of EUR 3.5 million<\/strong> would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. This does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.<\/p>\n

b)\u00a0Coordination and Support Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Coordination and Support Action will run in parallel to the research and innovation actions and interact with them to enhance synergies and cooperation between them and amongst the relevant stakeholders (including policy makers at all levels in the relevant policy fields,) and decisively promote the policy uptake of the research to overcome inequalities. It will generate networks for research and policy development and promote and monitor concrete policy guidance for system-wide, integrated and – where necessary \u2013 cross-policy strategies for effective intervention.<\/p>\n

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU in the order of EUR 3 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. This does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.<\/p>\n
