The online Brokerage Event for the new European Research Area or ERA call 2026 is organised by NCP_WIDERA.NET, the network of National Contact Points for Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area (WIDERA). The event will focus on the ERA 2026 call topics specified in the Horizon Europe WIDERA Work Programme for 2026-2027 (draft version available here).

The Brokerage Event will provide an opportunity for participants to engage in matchmaking with potential ERA call 2026 participants and stakeholders through pre-arranged bilateral meetings. This aims to identify possible collaborations and streamline the establishment of Horizon Europe ERA project consortia. Participants will create profiles, including search terms based on the ERA call titles of 2026 (please refer to the WP Draft). Participation in this event is free of charge, and registration is mandatory.

All information related to the brokerage event can be found on this webpage.

The European Commission Info Day for applicants about the ERA calls in the WIDERA Work Programme 2026-2027, Destination “Reforming and enhancing the European research and innovation system” will be held online on 11 December 2025. More information can be found in this announcement.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

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.
