Programmes HealthIn the proposal of Horizon Europe, under Pillar II – “Global Challenges and Industrial Competiveness”, the Health cluster and its six intervention areas are described at an aggregated level (i.e. with no disease specifications, nor earmarked resources). This will be further detailed in the “strategic plan” and work programmes that are to be developed in a participatory manner.
All stakeholders, including civil society and the wider public, are invited to “Have your say on future objectives for EU-funded research and innovation” and contribute to the “strategic plan” and priorities of Horizon Europe’s first four years (2021-2024). You can participate by providing your input through the online survey (it takes approximately 20 minutes to respond). More information on the Commission’s proposal for Horizon Europe can be found here.
The before mentioned public online consultation will be open until the 6th of September 2019.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
