2025-07-29 Deployment: Best use of technologiesOn 28 July 2025, the European Commission has opened a call for tener for the continuation of the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO). EDMO is a multidisciplinary community, serving as a collaborative platform for fact-checkers, researchers and media literacy experts. Under this call for tenders of up to €2.56 million, EDMO should focus on and further develop its activities related to monitoring and analysing the online information environment, as well as detect and expose disinformation campaigns, with the aim of contributing to situational awareness across the EU. Its work should also focus on contributing to election integrity and increasing societal resilience. Visit the Funding & Tenders Portal for more details on the call. Any request for additional information must be made in writing only through the portal in the “Questions and answers (Q&A)” section (registration on EU Funding & Tenders portal is required to be able to create and submit a question).

2025-07-28 ERC MSCA Research Infrastructures Health Culture and societyNCP Flanders is launching a new tool to quickly find the latest public version of the draft Horizon Europe and Digital Europe work programme (parts). Follow this link to use our new 'Draft work programme finder': Comitology Tool | NCP Flanders Background: The Horizon Europe and Digital Europe work programmes take months to draft and involve extensive consultations with member state officials and stakeholders. During this process, several versions of the different parts of the work programme are produced & discussed. Recently, the European Commission took the decision to publicly release these drafts of the different parts of the work programmes. This with the aim to make the work programmes more transparent and accessible to all stakeholders, also early on in the process.As a result, draft versions of the upcoming Horizon Europe work programme 2026-2027 and amendments of the Digital Europe work programme 2025-2027 are now published on the comitology register. However, as it is cumbersome to navigate the register, NCP Flanders has developed a tool which browses the register and attempts to detect all available drafts and marks it with "Draft Work Programme", allowing stakeholders to easily find the different documents.! Note that there may be several months of delay between the existence of a draft work programme (part) and its publication in the register. Also note that this is an automatic tool, so mistakes are possible. If you notice something or have feedback to improve this tool, don't hesitate to contact us at info@ncpflanders.be.

2025-07-24 Culture and societyThe European Commission has published its first monitoring report on the integration of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in Horizon Europe. The report mainly focusses on the integration of SSH in projects funded under pillar II of Horizon Europe (Cluster 1-6) and specifically on the SSH flagged topics in these clusters. A summary of some key findings in the report: Strong presence of SSH in Horizon Europe: 40% of topics under Pillar II were SSH-flagged, meaning SSH input was considered essential. These topics received €7.2 billion or 41% of the total Pillar II budget. Widespread Participation of SSH Partners: 88% of projects under SSH-flagged topics had at least one SSH partner, 22% of all project partners were SSH partners and 42% of projects were coordinated by SSH institutions (33% excluding Cluster 2). SSH in the Clusters: Cluster 2 (Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Society) had the highest SSH involvement (100% of projects), Clusters 5 (Climate, Energy & Mobility) and 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, etc.) also showed strong SSH integration (21% SSH partners), Cluster 1 (Health) and Cluster 4 (Digital, Industry & Space) had the lowest SSH partner shares (12% and 14%, respectively). Methodological Shift: Unlike Horizon 2020, which assessed SSH based on researcher profiles, Horizon Europe uses project deliverables to identify SSH involvement. This makes direct comparisons difficult but shows a rise in SSH-flagged funding from 33% (H2020) to 41% (HE). Key Challenges: Interdisciplinary communication: different “languages” between SSH and STEM fields. Coordination: effective integration depends on early and equal involvement of SSH in project design. Impact measurement: current monitoring focuses on quantity, not quality, of SSH integration. Recommendations: Promote common language and shared goals across disciplines. Ensure interdependence of work packages to foster real collaboration. Improve qualitative monitoring of SSH contributions. Put the focus of SSH-flagging on topics where SSH is essential for societal impact. The full report is available here.

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
