This report presents findings from a six-country online survey examining European citizens' attitudes toward societal challenges addressed by EU Missions (Horizon Europe) and their willingness to participate in related citizen engagement (CE) activities. The survey, conducted in Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Romania, explores awareness, interest, and preferences regarding CE methods. Results indicate a strong desire for active involvement in addressing societal challenges, coupled with a need to address barriers such as lack of trust in public institutions and limited access to decision-making processes, and that a diverse mix of engagement methods is needed to engage the public.
