The European Commission has launched a call for experts to join ‘Mission Boards’, which will advise the Commission for the identification and implementation of missions in Horizon Europe, the next EU research and innovation programme.
These missions will be high-ambition, high profile initiatives, to find solutions to some of the major challenges faced by European citizens, with a clear target that captures the imagination of citizens at large.
The five boards identified so far are:
- Mission board for adaptation to climate change including societal transformation
- Mission board for cancer
- Mission board for healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters
- Mission board for climate-neutral and smart cities
- Mission board for soil health and food.
