Call topics of interest

HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 · HERITAGE-03

AI integration in CCSI work practice: catalysing innovation and competitiveness

Mentheris contributes expertise on human adaptive capacity in AI adoption, how creative professionals and cultural organisations integrate AI into their work practices while preserving cultural diversity and human creativity. We can support research on the human-technology interaction dimension of AI-driven CCSI transformation, the development of analytical frameworks for inclusive AI adoption, and the socio-technical analysis of barriers and enablers to AI integration across diverse CCSI contexts.

HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 · HERITAGE-04

Towards a fair and transparent market for cultural and creative content in the era of generative AI

Mentheris brings a socio-technical and organisational perspective on how generative AI reshapes the conditions under which creators, cultural industries, and consumers interact. Our research on digital transformation dynamics and human-technology interaction is directly applicable to understanding adaptive capacity challenges faced by creators and cultural professionals navigating generative AI ecosystems.

HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 · HERITAGE-05

Creative alliances: Fostering global partnerships in cultural policies and CCI innovation

Mentheris contributes a perspective from a region with distinct dynamics in cultural policy and digital transformation. We can support research on the intersection of digital transformation and CCI participation, unequal access to global markets, and the role of technology in enabling or constraining cross-regional cultural and creative partnerships.

HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 · HERITAGE-01

"Artistic intelligence": harnessing the power of the arts to address complex challenges, enhance soft skills and boost innovation

Mentheris's research on human adaptive capacity and the interaction between technology and organisational learning directly connects to the soft skills and innovation competence agenda. We can contribute frameworks linking digital transformation literacy, creative capacity, and human-centred innovation, bridging the arts-technology interface with organisational and societal adaptation.

HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 · TRANSFO-05

Contribution of basic skills to productivity, innovation, competitiveness and economic growth

Mentheris investigates how digital transformation and emerging technologies interact with the capacity of individuals and organisations to adapt, perform, and innovate. This maps directly onto the question of how digital and foundational skills drive productivity and competitiveness, particularly in environments of unequal technological access and adaptive capacity.

HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 · DEMOCRACY-05

Research and Innovation Network for a Union of Equality

Mentheris addresses how digital transformation and AI adoption create unequal outcomes across social and organisational contexts. We bring an interdisciplinary human-technology perspective to the equity agenda, investigating how access to, and capacity for, digital integration differs across groups and how human-centred approaches can reduce those disparities, directly supporting the Union of Equality's research and innovation network goals.
