• HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-REGEN-01: Applying regenerative design to the built environment in neighbourhoods

EIC Pathfinder Call: Generative-AI based Agents to Revolutionize Medical Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer

Remark: there are many other interesting topics in the EIC 2025 Work Programme

IHI call 11 will be a standard, two-stage call for proposals with the following topics:

• Understanding how infections foster and induce non-communicable diseases
• Towards precision medicine: platform for transdiagnostic stratification of brain dysfunction
• AI-powered signal detection in pharmacovigilance
• Leveraging Europe's expertise to accelerate cell therapy for type 1 diabetes
• Establishing ortho and cardiology ambulatory surgical centres in Europe

DIGITAL-ECCC-2025-DEPLOY-CYBER-08-CYBERHEALTH: Dedicated action to reinforcing hospitals and healthcare providers

Through this constantly open call, ERDERA supports the organisation of transnational networking events that promote knowledge sharing, research uptake and collaborations among clinicians, researchers, and patients/patient advocacy organizations (PAOs).

These events will strengthen new or expanding research networks on rare diseases and rare cancers in general and promote the inclusion of typically underrepresented countries (UCs) in European rare diseases and rare cancers networks in particular.

EP PerMed’s rationale for organising Networking Support Calls (NSC) is to encourage networking in the field of personalised medicine (PM) and thereby stimulating the translation and implementation of research outcomes into clinical practice.
