Closing the learning gap: uncovering causes and effective policy interventions for declining youth skills in mathematics, reading, and science

Funds research into the structural causes of Europe's 15-year decline in youth maths, reading and science skills.

This is a single-stage Research and Innovation Action with an indicative budget of EUR 12,000,000, expected to fund three projects of roughly EUR 3-4 million each. Proposals should draw on economics, sociology, psychology, neuroscience and education science, and must evaluate the costs of any policy measures they analyse.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
