Published on | 2 months ago

Programmes Enhancing EU R&I Horizon Europe

The Commission launched the "Call for Evidence" to improve the general environment for generating innovation, reducing fragmentation and boosting the EU’s competitiveness. This initiative aims to strengthen R&D investment and bring it up to the 3% GDP target. It will focus research support more on strategic priorities, strengthen alignment between the EU and Member States’ funding priorities, and promote the free movement of knowledge and talent across Europe.

The Call for Evidence (describing the problem, the need of this action, the policy options, ..) is the first step of the consultation process. The next step entails a public stakeholder consultation on questions regarding the ERA Act specific intervention areas, that will follow this call for evidence.

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.
