Call for proposals to establish a single, large-scale transnational initiative focused on supporting fair labor mobility.

European Union

Call for proposals to establish a single, large-scale transnational initiative focused on supporting fair labor mobility. With a total budget of EUR 1.2 million, this action intends to fund one comprehensive project that will run for 12 to 18 months. The initiative aims to facilitate access to essential information and legal entitlements for mobile migrant workers, with a specific emphasis on high-risk sectors such as construction, international road transport, hospitality, and agriculture. The selected consortium is tasked with a dual-track mission of research and practical service expansion: Expansion of Counseling Networks: The project must support and grow a trade union-based network across at least nine countries, including two to four candidate or potential candidate countries. This involves setting up additional centers and providing targeted capacity building for counselors; Research and Analysis: Building on 15 years of existing data, the project will map and evaluate counseling structures in both origin and destination countries. Special attention will be given to the emerging challenges faced by third-country nationals who are posted and working temporarily within the EU; and Individualized Support: Mandatory activities include providing tailored advice for individual cases, which may extend to legal interventions, employer mediation, or referral to specialized lawyers to ensure labor rights enforcement.

European Union

Call for proposals to investigate and mitigate the drivers of political polarisation in the digital age. With a total budget of EUR 785,000, the project aims to develop a neutral, scientifically sound methodology for analyzing political discourse while strictly safeguarding freedom of expression and fostering evidence-based public debate. This initiative is designed to support the European Democracy Shield by strengthening social cohesion and public trust across EU Member States and potentially candidate countries. This call requires a robust, cross-sectoral consortium of at least five independent entities from four different countries, including research experts, civil society organizations, and technology companies. The project timeline is set for 15 months and follows a structured path: Pan-EU Conference: A major convening in Month 3 to validate de-polarisation initiatives and inform the project's technical methodology; Mitigation Strategies: Co-designing and testing practical interventions, such as bridging algorithms and deliberative formats, to counter harmful division without restricting democratic debate; and Knowledge Exchange: Establishing a durable European User Network to ensure that toolkits and findings remain accessible to media literacy practitioners and public bodies long after the project concludes.

Call for proposals to support initiatives that promote a healthier work-life balance and a more equitable distribution of care responsibilities.

European Union

Call for proposals to support initiatives that promote a healthier work-life balance and a more equitable distribution of care responsibilities. This program is a cornerstone of the EU Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025, aiming to bridge the gender care gap where women traditionally carry a disproportionate burden of unpaid domestic work. By fostering family-friendly workplace policies and elevating the status of the care sector, the call seeks to remove the structural barriers that prevent women’s full economic participation. The call focuses on three transformative pillars designed to reshape how society approaches care and employment: Family-Friendly Workplaces: Promoting practices such as telework, hybrid models, job sharing, and flexible hours. A major goal is to encourage the uptake of rights under the Work-Life Balance Directive, specifically protecting employees from unfavorable treatment following maternity, paternity, or parental leave; Equal Sharing of Informal Care: Supporting activities that encourage men to take an active role in parenting and long-term care for dependents. This includes skills-based training for fathers and awareness campaigns on the benefits of shared domestic responsibilities; and Valuing the Care Sector: Addressing horizontal segregation by attracting more men and boys into care-related fields of study and employment. This also involves re-evaluating the working conditions and professional appreciation of formal care jobs in early childhood and long-term care. Award range: between EUR 100 000 and EUR 500 000.
