Workshop I - Inclusive Societies
The EU paper defines one grand challenge by pointing out the need to build resilient and inclusive societies: «It is essential to identify ways to adapt and improve the European welfare systems, public services and the broader social security dimension of policies in order to achieve cohesion and promote more social and economic equality and intergenerational solidarity» (p. 77). The main keywords for this workshop are thus social welfare systems, inequalities, resilience, digital inclusiveness, intergenerational issues. Disciplines addressed: social sciences.

Workshop II - Intelligent Growth
One further issue raised in the EU paper is how to deal with the increasing amount of information our society relies on. «Enabling all societal actors to interact in the innovation cycle increases the quality, relevance, acceptability and sustainability of innovation outcomes by integrating society’s interest and values. This requires developing specific skills, knowledge and capacities at individual and organisational as well as at national and transnational levels. A scientifically literate, responsible and creative society will be nurtured through the promotion of and research on appropriate science education methods» (p. 80). In this context, the following keywords have to be taken into consideration: knowledge transfer, dissemination of knowledge, communication, social-network dynamics. Disciplines addressed: cognitive sciences, linguistics, communication- and media sciences, psychology, educational sciences.
Workshop V - Sustainable Growth
The promotion of a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth implies considerable changes as to the definition of growth and well-being and how they are measured, generated and sustained over time. «Research will analyse the development of sustainable lifestyles and socio-economic behaviours and values and how they relate to paradigms, policies and to the functioning of institutions, markets, firms, governance and belief systems in Europe.» (p. 76). The main keynotes relevant for this workshop are development of sustainable lifestyles and socio-economic behaviours and values, establishment of standards, normalisation process, goal-setting process. Disciplines addressed: sociology, economics, social psychology.
