Programmes:

HorizonEurope

The ninth framework programme for R&I has started in 2021 and will last until the end of 2027. It has a confirmed budget of € 95,000 million and a drive towards innovation, competitiveness and societal impact to address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Among the novelties, it aims to achieve bold but measurable goals through the new five Mission areas (one of which is Cancer).

The Health Program of the EU is the main instrument available to the European Commission to carry out its vision for a healthier Union. It aims to go beyond crisis response and benefit healthcare systems’ resilience through several modalities of funding. including Action Grants available to consortia of EU institutions.

The total budget of the third program is 5,300 million euros for the period 2021-2027.

COST

COST is the oldest (established in 1971) and widest European intergovernmental framework for transnational Cooperation in Science and Technology. Its aim is to enable breakthrough scientific developments leading to new concepts and products. COST programme supports the creation of research networks: funding meetings, staff hosting and training. Although it not covers research activities themselves, like purchases or hiring new staff.

The calls are continuously open with two court dates per year
