The 'societal relevance' of the five #EUMissions is 'not contested'. That's the conclusion of the latest assessment of the Missions, which are striving to achieve ambitious goals by 2030. The conclusions also state that as the goals of each Mission are linked, more interdisciplinary research needs to be conducted - with an increased focus on the #SocialSciences. Citizens should also be invited to have a greater role. Depending on the Mission, more weight should be given to #Research (new discoveries) or #Innovation (implementation of existing or novel solutions) according to the review. The review is an important tool to ensure the Missions are a success under #HorizonEU! Read about the over 2,000 projects worth more than €5 billion we manage that are helping to do just that for #MissionSoil, #MissionClimate, #MissionCities, #MissionCancer, and #MissionOcean.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were a set of eight global development objectives established by the United Nations (UN) in 2000. The MDGs aimed to address some of the world's most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges by the target year of 2015. Each goal had specific targets and indicators to measure progress.
