Important: NCP Flanders will publish any updates (news, events, ...) about a concrete partnership within the programme domain(s) a partnership belongs to.
European Partnerships bring the European Commission and private and/or public partners together to address some of Europe’s most pressing challenges through concerted research and innovation initiatives. They are a key implementation tool of Horizon Europe, and contribute significantly to achieving the EU’s political priorities.
By bringing private and public partners together, European Partnerships help to avoid the duplication of investments and contribute to reducing the fragmentation of the research and innovation landscape in the EU.
There are 3 types of partnerships:
For an overview of the partnership candidates, we refer to the official website of the European Union. You'll find them back by domain:
On the FWO website you can find a list of co-fund partnerships in which FWO participates: https://www.fwo.be/nl/onderzoeksfinanciering/internationale-samenwerking/intra-europese-onderzoeksprojecten/europees-kaderprogramma/horizon-europe-cofund-partnerschappen/
FWO participates in the so-called 'co-funded partnerships', because this is the appropriate instrument within the ERA ecosystem for a research funder such as FWO. In addition to a range of R&I activities, open, external periodic calls for research funding are organized in such a partnership. The latter also form the essence of the FWO participation.
The FWO participation in the European, multilateral partnerships is thus further consolidated, following extensive participation in H2020 programs (including ERA-NET, EJP).
On the VLAIO website you can find a list of networks / co-fund partnerships in which VLAIO participates:

Through VLAIO's participation in international networks, Flemish project partners can receive funding directly from Flanders for their international cooperation on research, development and innovation (R&D&I). The agency uses its existing support programs to realize the financing of the Flemish partners within these networks / partnerships.

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.
