DESCRIPTION

Presenters will discuss the systemic approach within the EU Missions “Soil”, “Oceans” and “Cities”, and the challenge of the assessment of the impact. The EU Missions, a crucial component of the Horizon Europe programme, embody a systemic approach to addressing major societal challenges. The systemic approach is critical to create a coordinated efforts that go beyond traditional policy and research boundaries. This approach is reflected in initiatives that actively involve communities in decision-making processes, ensuring that the Missions’ goals align with public needs and values such as Living Labs. Overall, the implementation of a systemic approach in the EU Missions. Yet, assessing the effectiveness of the systemic approach poses methodological and theoretical challenges: the session aims to present the current status of the debate.
