The programme will support researchers from the social, behavioural and economic sciences to take the lead in developing international Transformative Knowledge Networks that will:
• focus on the needs and opportunities for social transformation in concrete contexts of application
• bring together researchers from different disciplines and fields of science, as well as different regions of the world
• engage stakeholders in the co-design and co-production of solutions-oriented knowledge and the development of networks of knowledge exchange and mutual learning, and
• build capacity for international research collaboration and support early career social scientists.
