Expression of interest NTNU researchers - Horizon Europe calls 2025

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has compiled a set of brochures, showcasing what NTNU's researchers can bring to the table on the topic of the six clusters within pillar II of the Horizon Europe programme. A seperate brochure covers the expertise NTNU can bring in the context of the 5 EU Missions. Through a mapping exercise, NTNU has matched their reserachers' interests in the upcoming Horizon Europe calls, based on both their experience and the industry relations they can bring to the bid. Interested to collaborate with NTNU? The NTNU Horizon Europe brochures are available here: Horizon Europe Mapping - NTNU

Understanding EuroHPC JU (High-Performance Computing)

The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) represents a major strategic initiative in Europe's digital transformation journey. This article explores how EuroHPC connects with broader European research funding programs and what opportunities it offers for researchers and organisations. What is EuroHPC? EuroHPC JU is a Joint Undertaking with a tripartite governance structure, bringing together the European Commission, 35 participating states, and private partners to develop a world-class supercomputing ecosystem in Europe and develop the entire value chain (hardware, software, applications, user support). Funding comes from Digital Europe Program, Horizon Europe, and Connecting Europe Facility, with national co-funding (50% matching from member states).  Key Areas of Activity Activities are organized across seven pillars including Infrastructure Development: EuroHPC focuses on establishing and maintaining supercomputing facilities across Europe Research and Innovation: Supporting technology development in HPC, particularly in supercomputing applications Access Programs: Providing researchers and organizations with computing time on high-performance systems AI Integration: Supporting AI development through dedicated computing resources and 13 AI factories Funding Opportunities EuroHPC offers two main types of funding mechanisms: Access Grants: Providing computing time and resources on HPC systems (100% funded) Horizontal Grants: Supporting research, innovation, and service activities (50% EU funding, requiring national co-funding) Connection to Horizon Europe While EuroHPC maintains its focus on supercomputing infrastructure and applications, it complements Horizon Europe Cluster 4's broader digital transformation goals. Projects often find synergies between these funding streams, particularly in areas like: open source technology development, edge-to-exascale computing solutions, digital infrastructure advancement, ... The 2025 Cluster 4 work program makes approximately a dozen references to EuroHPC. In practice this means that applicants may be required to build on or complement work from EuroHPC grants, direct users to EuroHPC infrastructure, or demonstrate a strategy for securing compute time. How to Participate Organizations interested in EuroHPC opportunities should consider several factors, like their eligibility (generally ok for Belgium), exploring national co-funding possibilities for horizontal grants, partnerships with existing EuroHPC projects and facilities, ... In order to make this less complex, you can contact EuroCC Belgium, which coordinates activities in all HPC-related fields in Belgium and serves as a reference contact point on HPC, HPDA, AI & Quantum Computing at a national level and for customers from industry, science, (future) HPC experts, and the general public alike.  Additionally you can contact one of the 10 Centres of Excellence in HPC that were founded to support research and innovation actions that will develop and adapt HPC applications for the exascale and post-exacale era. Key takeaway Understanding how (services and funding of) EuroHPC can be combined with other EU programs can make the crucial difference for maximizing your funding and collaboration opportunities. EuroHPC JU continues to evolve, with increasing focus on AI applications and integration with broader European digital initiatives.

EP PerMed - Education Call: Implementation of Personalised Medicine for Healthcare Professionals

The European Partnership for Personalised Medicine (EP PerMed) has launched an Education call with the aim to support the provision and development of educational content for healthcare professionals on the implementation of personalised medicine (PM).The call will fund high quality content that will feed into online modules/ courses, that will be collaboratively developed with the Digital Learning Team supporting EP PerMed. All modules will be hosted and disseminated through the EP PerMed website and the eLearning platform designated by EP PerMed. Modules/courses will cater to training needs for healthcare professionals in PM implementation; may include case studies demonstrating successful implementation of PM strategies in primary healthcare and selected disease areas; activities to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between HCPs for PM solutions; activities to improve communications skills of HCPs to patients. Deadline for proposals submissions is 9 September 2025 at 16:00 CEST. The application platform will open on 16 June 2025. Applicants must submit their applications via EIT Health Application Platform. In the context of the call, a matchmaking platform, opening also on 16 June, will be made available to interested stakeholders. More information on what will be funded, eligibility criteria, evaluation process and criteria can be found on the dedicated EP PerMed webpage. An information webinar is organised on 18 June 2025.

EIT food impact funding framework call now open

The European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) tries to build the bridge between promising innovations and succesful start-ups. To this purpose they give guidance and financial assistance to aspiring entrepreneurs. One of the instruments of the subdivision EIT food is the Impact Funding Framework for which the sixth call for proposals was recently launched.  The call consists of two parts. One financial instrument is aimed at collaborative proposals while the other one focuses at single project funding.  The collaborative project should be situated in one these 3 key areas Improve the impact of diet on obesity and non-communicable disease Reduce food-system-related environmental harms Deal with the threats posed by food integrity and complex supply chains The 3 main topics of the single projects are as follows: Protein Diversification: Bringing protein diversification to the mainstream Regenerative Agriculture: Enabling farmers to lead the transition to Net Zero Labelling, Packaging & Transparency: Empowering people in their food choices The full details of the calls and an explanatory webinar can be found on this website.

EP PerMed - 2025 Networking Support Call for previously funded projects

The European Partnership for Personalised Medicine (EP PerMed) is organising a Networking Support Call with the aim to encourage networking in the field of personalised medicine (PM) and thereby stimulating the translation and implementation of research outcomes into clinical practice.In the Networking Support Call 2025 (NSC2025), applicants from previously funded ERA PerMed and EP PerMed projects, researchers from (inter)national projects related to health research towards PM approaches, and translational stakeholders from countries participating in EP PerMed are invited to apply for funding for a networking event. To connect to researchers from previously funded ERA PerMed and EP PerMed projects, these projects are presented in the EP PerMed project database.Applicants can apply for funding of up to €30,000 per networking event to organise a single transnational European/international event focused on translational aspects of personalised medicine. Applicants can choose between a face-to-face meeting or a hybrid format. An application template must be completed in an electronic submission system in order to participate in this competitive call. An information day will take place on 1 July. The call deadline is 29 September 2025.More information on the eligibility criteria and on how to apply, can be found on the EP PerMed website.
