Mapping ERC Frontier Democracy
Mapping ERC Frontier Democracy
This report presents ERC-funded research projects that examine a wide variety of aspects linked to democracy. It explores the multifaceted challenges confronting democratic systems while also illuminating the enduring resilience of democratic principles and civic engagement. The projects presented in this report were identified by keyword searches on all Horizon 2020 (2014 – 2020) and Horizon Europe (2021 – 2027) ERC-funded projects. As the list was broad, the resulting pool was refined, retaining 215 projects. The projects were divided into clusters to present these in a thematic manner, and some are highlighted in this report. The criteria for this selection were, first, how advanced the project was and whether it had produced research outputs that could be highlighted. Second, we aimed for variety, showcasing the plurality of topics covered.
