Call for proposals to fund pre-competitive research and innovation aimed at developing novel tools, technologies, and methods for the entire spectrum of healthcare.

European Union

€1 – €1Mnon-repayable

Call for proposals to fund pre-competitive research and innovation aimed at developing novel tools, technologies, and methods for the entire spectrum of healthcare. This initiative focuses on integrating fragmented research efforts through collaborative public-private partnerships to address unmet public health needs, ranging from disease prevention and precision diagnostics to chronic disease management. To be eligible, applicants must assemble a consortium including at least one independent legal entity from an EU Member State and two additional entities from different Member States or Associated Countries. Successful projects must deliver results that contribute to the digital transformation and green transition of the European health industry. Key expected impacts include breaking down silos between medical disciplines, fostering the development of integrated healthcare solutions, and promoting sustainable manufacturing processes like 3D printing or on-site production. Furthermore, the actions should align with major EU policies, such as the European Health Data Space and the AI Act, while ensuring that the resulting innovations remain effective, cost-effective, and affordable for both patients and healthcare systems.

€1.5M – €15Mnon-repayable

Call for proposals to strengthen ethics, regulatory, and pharmacovigilance (PV) systems for medical products in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

European Union

Call for proposals to strengthen ethics, regulatory, and pharmacovigilance (PV) systems for medical products in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). With a total budget of EUR 15 million and individual grants expected around EUR 1.5 million, this initiative aims to bridge persistent gaps in the evaluation of therapeutics and vaccines. The primary goal is to elevate national and regional regulatory authorities to WHO Maturity Level 3 (ML3), ensuring they meet international standards for clinical trial oversight, marketing authorization, and drug safety monitoring. Successful projects should result in improved digital infrastructure for protocol assessment, greater harmonization of ethics reviews for multi-centre trials, and increased regional cooperation. By implementing WHO benchmarking tools, these actions will contribute to a more resilient and future-ready regulatory environment in Africa, facilitating the timely delivery of affordable and safe medical products to the market.

€2.3M – €18Mnon-repayable

Call for proposals to strengthen health systems and digital capacity within sub-Saharan Africa.

European Union

Call for proposals to strengthen health systems and digital capacity within sub-Saharan Africa. This initiative focuses on the development and integration of electronic health records and tools that leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to better prevent, detect, and treat infectious diseases. By fostering partnerships between national governments, researchers, and the private sector, the program aims to move beyond fragmented systems toward scalable, inclusive digital health infrastructures. Projects are expected to deliver high-impact results, such as scaling up validated digital innovations at a regional level or improving data interoperability between existing health systems. Furthermore, proposals must prioritize ethical standards, data privacy, and the audit of AI biases to ensure that new technologies are sustainable and culturally acceptable. Ultimately, the goal of this Coordination and Support Action is to build local human capital and ensure that digital transformation leads to evidence-based policy making and improved healthcare delivery for underserved communities. The program has a total budget of EUR 18 million, with individual awards expected to be around EUR 2.25 million each.

Call for proposals to facilitate international research mobility.

European Union

€800Knon-repayable

Call for proposals to facilitate international research mobility. This initiative provides EUR 0.80 million in funding to support European researchers from Member States and Associated Countries in conducting research visits to Japanese institutions. The primary goal is to strengthen industrial leadership and strategic autonomy by fostering collaboration in material sciences, specifically focusing on applications in mobility, energy, construction, electronics, or medical devices. The action is designed to fund travel grants for visits of up to one month to Japanese research groups with complementary expertise. Proposals must ensure broad geographical representation across Europe and can be used to either initiate new partnerships or deepen existing ones. By bridging the European and Japanese research ecosystems, this call aims to create a robust platform for information sharing and collaborative innovation in the field of advanced materials. Award range: up to EUR 0.80 million.

Call for proposals to accelerate the development of Innovative Advanced Materials (IAMs) that prioritize circularity and resilient supply networks.

European Union

€5M – €37Mnon-repayable

Call for proposals to accelerate the development of Innovative Advanced Materials (IAMs) that prioritize circularity and resilient supply networks. With a total budget of EUR 37.00 million, the initiative specifically targets research and innovation in recyclable polymers, composites, magnets, and metal alloys for additive manufacturing. Proposals are expected to cover the entire innovation cycle—from initial design for circularity to industrial scale-up and demonstration—ensuring that new materials possess superior functionalities while remaining easy to recover, recycle, and valorize at the end of their life cycle. To facilitate market uptake, projects must integrate the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework and utilize digital tools, such as AI and FAIR data principles, to support circular product design across supply chains. The call requires the development of circular business models and industrial use cases, particularly within the strategic value chains of mobility and medical devices. Successful consortia, consisting of at least three independent entities from different Member States or Associated Countries, can apply for awards ranging between EUR 5.00 and 6.50 million. This topic is a key implementation of the IAM4EU and Made in Europe partnerships, aiming to significantly increase resource efficiency and harmonize regulatory requirements for a simplified market transition.

Call for proposals to accelerate the development of safer alternatives to Substances of Concern (SoCs).

European Union

€6M – €38Mnon-repayable

Call for proposals to accelerate the development of safer alternatives to Substances of Concern (SoCs). With a total budget of EUR 38.00 million, the Commission intends to fund approximately six projects with grants ranging between EUR 6.00 and 7.50 million each. The initiative targets critical industrial sectors, including energy, mobility, construction, electronics, textiles, and medical devices, where the replacement of hazardous or circularity-hindering substances is essential for European competitiveness and sustainability. Selected projects are expected to significantly reduce the regulatory and operational costs associated with hazardous chemicals while securing European supply chains against future restrictions. By demonstrating a clear business case and exploitation strategy, these initiatives will help speed up the transition to a clean, autonomous economy. Ultimately, the call aims to prove that minimizing the use of substances of concern is not only an environmental necessity but also a powerful driver for industrial innovation and market growth.
