New actors such as regions, cities, social entrepreneurs and NGOs of various
kinds are becoming important, and new forms of governance are emerging,
partly bottom-up scope: the importance of new constellations of existing actors
(as in public-private interactions) and new or modified constellations because of
new actors joining in

Types of action:
RIA Research and Innovation action (At least three legal
entities. Each of the three must be established in a different EU Member State or
Horizon 2020 associated country. All three legal entities must be independent of
each other.)

The available knowledge on science education outside the classroom and its
impact on citizens need to be analysed, taking into account possible gender and
geographical differences and the analysis including socio-economically
disadvantaged groups. The analysis include socio-economically disadvantaged
groups. The proposed action shall specify if this type of learning complements
the classroom or succeeds where the classroom might have failed.
In the short term, the proposed action will identify good practices in terms of
science education outside the classroom and consider the impact this
information has on formal and informal science education for students and
citizens. In the medium term, the results of the present action will help the EU to
better understand the effects of science education outside the regular education
institutions and will increase the range of innovative products in science
education that reflect societal needs.

Collaboration between formal, non-formal and informal education providers,
enterprises and civil society should be enhanced to ensure relevant and
meaningful engagement of all societal actors with science and increase the
uptake of science studies and science based careers, employability and
competitiveness.
This action aims to support a range of activities based on collaboration between
formal, non-formal and informal education providers, enterprises and civil society
in order to integrate the concept of open schooling, including all educational
levels, in science education.
To address this specific challenge, proposals should have a wide geographical
coverage. It is therefore expected that consortia would include at least entities
from 10 different Member States or Associated Countries, although smaller
consortia will also be eligible and may be selected.

Types of action:
RIA Research and Innovation action (At least three legal
entities. Each of the three must be established in a different EU Member State or
Horizon 2020 associated country. All three legal entities must be independent of
each other.)
Research should comparatively explore evidence and narratives of critical
reflection and engagement with troubled pasts across Europe.
A deeper knowledge base - on the significance of memory, interpretations and
teaching (or silencing) periods of troubled pasts for the construction of historical
narratives in contemporary Europe - will inspire and inform specific initiatives.
These include appropriate changes in national educational curricula and
innovative educational material on how to critically and constructively reflect and
act upon troubled historical heritage and facilitate the development of more
nuanced and reflective approaches to interwoven local, regional, national and
European histories.

It is recognised that cultural heritage is a shared resource for everyone and set
the objective of continuing to develop more participative interpretation and
governance models that are better suited to the contemporary European
context, through greater involvement of the private sector and civil society.
It is thus of paramount importance for urban and rural development, tourism,
education, creative industries and cultural heritage professionals to understand
how to integrate European tangible and intangible cultural heritage into
sustainable development, hence the crucial role of social and inclusive
innovation.
Scope:
a) Research and Innovation Actions
The research should investigate innovative ways in which cultural institutions can
engage with younger and more mature audiences, with minority, migrant or
socially disadvantaged groups and include them in their governance - and how
local communities organise themselves in order to co-create a better use of the
local heritage. It should look into the challenges faced by cultural institutions
with regard to the necessity to balance needs for managing material collections
and opening culture and cultural heritage to new audiences. Research should
also investigate the issue of how to combine traditional cultural services with
innovative new cultural or social services like adult or lifelong learning, career
support, access to and assistance to digital services and e-administrations
flexible work arrangement.
The actions will form the basis for new institutional strategies to engage new
audiences and communities and to combine culture, informal culture and cultural
heritage demonstration and preservation with innovative ways of cultural
transmission and creative re-use.

(6) TOPIC: Overcoming market barriers and promoting

deep renovation of buildings

Many barriers, which are not necessarily technological, hamper the
implementation of these provisions. For example: diversity and fragmentation
within the building value chain; inefficient and complex renovation processes; a
lack of deep renovation packages; low development and uptake of financial
packages or incentives (e.g. grants, credits); unclear energy or environmental

requirements in renovation grants or procurement processes; low progress in

performance guarantees. There is therefore, a need to overcome these
regulatory and non-regulatory barriers to facilitate the renovation of existing
building stocks.
The focus of submitted proposals should be aiming at overcoming market
barriers to deep renovation within the value chain. Any building type may be
included (public or private, residential or non-residential).
Renovations can take place at one point in time or be staged in a step-by-step
approach, but in any case they should strive to achieve "deep renovation" (at
least 60% energy savings compared to pre-renovation levels) or aim towards
Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) performance. Proposals might consider
integration of voluntary certification schemes along with energy performance
certificate, including elements of indoor quality classification for buildings.
