Call SC5-14-2019 concerns the topic <link http: ec.europa.eu research participants portal desktop en opportunities h2020 topics sc5-14-2019.html external-link-new-window external link to call sc5-14-2019 in new>Visionary and integrated solutions to improve well-being and health in cities. In light of urbanisation, a growing need for spaces that increase well-being and health has become evident. These diverse, accessible, safe, inclusive and high quality green areas can be developed by crossing social, cultural, digital and nature-based innovation in the design, development and governance of public space. The call is looking for actions that deliver visionary and integrated solutions addressing social, cultural, economic and environmental determinants of health and well-being, actions that show the effect of such actions on reducing health-related environmental burdens and actions influencing the management and governing of public spaces. The Commission regards the input from the social sciences and the humanities as essential assets to the projects applying for this call.
With the call SC5-20-2019 <link http: ec.europa.eu research participants portal desktop en opportunities h2020 topics sc5-20-2019.html external-link-new-window external link in new>Transforming historic urban areas and/or cultural landscapes into hubs of entrepreneurship and social and cultural integration the European Commission aims to foster actions that develop, demonstrate and document strategies, approaches and solutions to re-activate and re-generate historic urban areas and/or cultural landscapes. Against the backdrop of urban, industrial and rural areas that have been abandoned or been left to decay leading to unemployment, disengagement and economic stagnation, the actions should contrast this development and introduce regenaration processes that are involved with the community, the cultural and social values and the identity of the place. Previous top-down lead regeneration processes were often not successful as they failed to engage the local population. This has led to breaking up of traditional social structures, gentrification and over-reliance on volatile sectors, such as tourism. The actions proposed in this call should take on a different approach and particularly pay attention to the local surroundings.
