The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has pre-published the drafts for Call 8. Following four topics are currently planned for the two-stage Call 8, which will be finalized and published in the coming weeks:
- "A city-based approach to reducing cardiovascular mortality in Europe”
- "Novel endpoints for osteoarthritis (OA) by applying big data analytics”
- "Modelling regulatory sandbox mechanisms and enabling their deployment to support breakthrough innovation”
- "Patient-centred clinical-study endpoints derived using digital health technologies”
The topics are currently being consulted with the States' Representatives Group and the Science and Innovation Panel. They can therefore change between the versions now published and the publication of the Call. Applicants should therefore check the final, approved topic texts after publication of the call for proposals. Release is expected on June 25, 2024.
More information and the draft for Call 8 can be found on the IHI website.

The feedback opportunity is open for 3 weeks from 15 April and closes on 6 May 2024 midday, CET.
On March 20, 2024, the European Commission published the second Strategic Plan for Horizon Europe. Based on the strategic plan, the work programs and funding calls for 2025 to 2027 will be developed.
The plan sets out three key strategic orientations for EU research and innovation funding for the last three years of Horizon Europe:
- green transition;
- digital transition;
- a more resilient, competitive, inclusive and democratic Europe.
The orientations aim to address global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, digital transformation and an aging population.
Nine new European partnerships will be named, which will be set up from 2025. A partnership with “Brain Health” is planned for the health sector.
In addition, the priorities for each cluster - including the health cluster - are described in a separate chapter.
The European Commission is hosting virtual “EU Missions Info Days” on April 25-26, 2024.
In these, potential applicants are informed about the new calls for proposals within the five European missions: cancer, climate adaptation, water, cities and soils.
The Cancer Mission will be presented on April 26, 2023 from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. (CET). A registration is not required. Further information can be found on the event website.
Following the Info Days, a virtual brokerage event for the Cancer Mission's calls for proposals will take place to support potential applicants in finding project partners.
The European Commission has published the report of the expert group to support the monitoring of European missions. The group developed a conceptual understanding of missions as a policy approach in the context of European research and innovation policy and in the report proposes a monitoring framework and indicators focused on development and implementation "beyond Horizon Europe".
