About
The University of Greenwich is a public research university based in London and Medway, United Kingdom, with a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research, social impact and international collaboration. Our academic expertise relevant to Horizon Europe Cluster 2 (Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society) spans the social sciences, arts and humanities, education, public policy, and digital society. Researchers at Greenwich work on themes including social and spatial inequalities, migration and diversity, cultural heritage and memory, creative and cultural industries, education systems and lifelong learning, democracy and civic participation, trust in institutions, labour and working lives, health and wellbeing, and the societal implications of digitalisation and emerging technologies. The University has particular strengths in applied, practice‑based and policy‑relevant research, often working closely with local authorities, cultural organisations, NGOs, community groups, public services and international partners. We bring experience in qualitative and mixed‑methods research, participatory and co‑creation approaches, comparative international studies, impact evaluation, and knowledge exchange. The University of Greenwich is keen to engage in Horizon Europe collaborative projects as a research partner, work package leader or contributor, particularly where projects combine strong theoretical framing with applied impact, stakeholder engagement and clear societal relevance. We welcome partnerships with universities, research organisations, cultural actors, public bodies, civil society organisations and other stakeholders across Europe and beyond.
