Programmes Enhancing EU R&I SwafS

This report maps the contributions of 30 projects funded through Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe to understanding and enacting the reform of research assessment. It approaches the reform of research assessment practices through the principles enshrined in the agreement on reforming research assessment. The report identifies relevant activities and results, analyses their role in contributing to the wider cultural change underpinning the movement towards reformed research assessment, disseminates promising practices and explores the potential for further work in this area. The sources reviewed include project documentation, qualitative survey responses by the coordinators and information from a small number of interviews and informal conversations, along with participation in events.

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
