**The EU under the Horizon programme is making nearly €180 million available for
projects addressing what it describes as Europe’s societal challenge in a changing
world.**

The funding, open until 12 March 2020, will support 24 topics under three areas:

 * migration (€29 million)
 * socio-economic and cultural transformations stemming from the fourth industrial
   revolution (€85 million)
 * and governance for the future (€66 million).

**Migration topics** include integration of recently arrived migrants, challenges
for migrant children and sustainable practices for migrants.** Socio-economic and
cultural transformation topics **include digitisation, mainstreaming innovation 
in schools and innovation in cultural tourism. **Governance funding** will support
new forms of delivering public goods and inclusive public services, and enhancing
access and uptake of education to reverse inequalities.
