ProgrammesThe European Commission is organising a brokerage event for the Digital Europe call Virtual Worlds Test Beds.
The Virtual Worlds Test Beds will support testing, experimentation, and integration of virtual worlds, immersive and extended reality technologies in specific sectors, targeting both industrial and societal applications. They will focus on validating mature technologies and solutions that have already been tested in laboratories, in order to confirm their performance in real-world environments.
The brokerage event will feature a presentation by the European Commission, a dedicated session for questions and answers, and the opportunity for potential applicants to pitch their proposal ideas during dedicated breakout sessions.
The event is open to participants from organisations based in EU Member States and in countries associated with the Digital Europe Programme. Registrations are open until 28 November 2025.
Background:
Two Virtual worlds Test Beds will be funded: one aiming to maximise the uptake of virtual worlds solutions in industry, by supporting industrial applications such as manufacturing, construction or industrial design, and the other to promote similar outcomes in societal applications, including education and training, cultural heritage and other cultural experiences, public administration or healthcare.

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.
