The European Commission will organize an information day on March 26, 2026, to introduce the 2026 topics included in the "Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society" (Cluster 2) Work Program 2026-2027 under Horizon Europe.

The event aims to inform potential applicants about the call topics and provide guidance for crafting successful proposals. Cluster 2 supports EU priorities such as strengthening democratic governance, safeguarding and promoting cultural heritage and Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), and managing social, economic, and technological transformations.

Future projects are expected to deliver on three intervention areas matching the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan (2025-2027):

• Green transition
• Digital transition
• A more resilient, competitive, inclusive, and democratic Europe

Additionally, all topics under this cluster are expected to mainstream Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) and include a gender dimension in their research.
