Societal challenges

4. Priority 3. Societal challenges
Why:
Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport, etc) cannot be achieved without innovation
Breakthrough solutions come from multi-disciplinary collaborations, including social sciences & humanities
Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and scaled up
