Call for proposals to establish a comprehensive European Partnership for research into radiation protection and the detection of ionising radiation.

European Union

€15Mnon-repayable

Call for proposals to establish a comprehensive European Partnership for research into radiation protection and the detection of ionising radiation. This initiative serves as a continuation of the PIANOFORTE partnership, aiming to safeguard both human health and the environment in alignment with the Basic Safety Standards Directive. The Commission has allocated a total of EUR 15.00 million for this action, with a single award of approximately the same amount expected to fund the partnership's activities for the 2026–2027 period. The partnership is designed to exploit synergies across various scientific disciplines, including fundamental biology, epidemiology, and social sciences. Key research priorities include: Individual Sensitivity: Investigating how age, sex, and genetics influence radiation risks, particularly in medical applications; Emergency Preparedness: Improving tools for nuclear accident response, including AI-based environmental monitoring and hospital support capabilities; Medical Optimisation: Strengthening the evidence base for justifying and optimizing radiation use in healthcare to enhance patient safety; and Integrated Radiobiology: Advancing the understanding of how radiation exposure leads to cancer and non-cancer effects through the FAIRisation of data.

Call for proposals to support the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) in its mission to integrate nuclear safety research and innovation at the EU level.

European Union

€500Knon-repayable

Call for proposals to support the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) in its mission to integrate nuclear safety research and innovation at the EU level. With a total budget and expected award of EUR 0.50 million, this initiative specifically targets the evolution of nuclear technologies beyond traditional power generation, focusing on non-power applications and cross-sectoral energy challenges for the 2026–2027 period. Funding is primarily dedicated to specialized studies, data collection, and workshops aimed at developing technology roadmaps and deployment strategies. Key focus areas include: Cross-Sectoral Collaboration: Fostering cooperation between SNETP and other European Technology and Innovation Platforms (ETIPs) to address shared challenges in materials, digital technologies, and AI; Non-Power Applications: Advancing the use of ionising radiation in the health, industrial, and space sectors, with a strong emphasis on medical applications and radiation protection; Energy Mix Integration: Coordinating nuclear and non-nuclear energy roadmaps to ensure nuclear power plants are effectively integrated into low-carbon, smart energy systems; as well as Policy and Outreach: Supporting nuclear scientists in contributing to Horizon Europe actions, such as Europe’s Beating Cancer Action Plan, and communicating research value to policymakers outside the traditional power sector.

Call for proposals with a budget of EUR 32.

European Union

€32Mnon-repayable

Call for proposals with a budget of EUR 32.00 million to support the excellence and attractiveness of the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure. The initiative aims to advance scientific and technological discoveries in neurosciences, brain medicine, and brain-inspired cognitive technologies by operating and improving a suite of digital services designed to attract a broad community of academic and industrial users. Projects are expected to operate digital facilities that provide access to federated supercomputing, large-scale data storage, and high-performance cloud services, including integration with European HPC capacities and AI Factories. Furthermore, the infrastructure must implement advanced AI tools to facilitate intuitive user interactions, support complex brain simulations and multi-scale modeling, and ensure that research data remains findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable in line with FAIR principles. Successful proposals will demonstrate scalability and robustness, develop a new collaborative platform for testing neuro-inspired artificial intelligence, and foster international cooperation to ensure Europe remains at the forefront of global brain research efforts. By aligning with the forthcoming European Health Data Space and leveraging synergies with other research infrastructures, this effort seeks to create a federated and innovation-enabling ecosystem that results in state-of-the-art digital brain twins, improved diagnostics, and more personalized medical treatments for brain-related health challenges.

Call for applications for early-stage, women-led startups in the digital and deep-tech sectors across Europe to participate in a specialized open innovation program.

European Union

€1 – €1Mnon-repayable

Call for applications for early-stage, women-led startups in the digital and deep-tech sectors across Europe to participate in a specialized open innovation program. To be eligible, companies must be registered for between six months and six years, have raised €1 million or less in equity, and be founded or co-founded by a woman who holds a top management position and at least 25% of the company's shares. The program focuses on solving twelve diverse corporate challenges, covering areas such as AI-driven production optimization, sustainable material development, and tax strategy design. Selected startups will first enter a one-month Inception stage, with up to seven companies advancing to a five-month Piloting stage in collaboration with a corporate partner. The initiative offers a total funding pool of €475,000, with individual awards of up to €55,000 available. Interested founders must submit their applications via the Sploro platform no later than May 19, 2026.

Call for proposals aimed at accelerating the market launch of digital and AI-powered medical technologies.

European Union

€850Knon-repayable

Call for proposals aimed at accelerating the market launch of digital and AI-powered medical technologies. This initiative provides up to EUR 850,000 in funding for collaborative projects to bridge the gap between high-level prototypes and commercial availability. Specifically, the call targets solutions at Innovation Maturity Level (IML) 6 that are ready for pivotal clinical studies, regulatory submission, and the finalization of a robust commercial strategy. Selected projects are expected to deliver significant societal and economic value. To ensure long-term viability, innovations must be backed by a clear business model and robust Intellectual Property Rights. Furthermore, the EIT has set ambitious post-funding targets: Patient Reach: The potential to impact at least 150,000 EU citizens; Revenue Target: Achieving a minimum of €10,000 in revenue within three years of the project’s conclusion; and Accountability: Consortia must provide a comprehensive workplan and agree to long-term monitoring of their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Call for proposals to fund collaborative projects that implement Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) models.

European Union

€700Knon-repayable

Call for proposals to fund collaborative projects that implement Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) models. This initiative is designed to bridge the gap between high-maturity, market-ready medical solutions and their formal adoption into real-world clinical practice. With awards of up to EUR 700,000, the program supports industry-led projects that demonstrate how digital and data-driven care pathways can improve patient outcomes while simultaneously enhancing the economic sustainability of healthcare systems. The funding covers activities for up to 24 months, focusing on the practical deployment of innovations rather than early-stage research. Projects are expected to move beyond technical development to achieve broad clinical validation and market readiness.
