Programmes HealthThis September, a new European Partnership on Rare Diseases (ERDERA) started off under Horizon Europe. ERDERA’s aim is to deliver significant health benefits to the estimated over 30 million people in Europe affected by rare diseases through improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The partnership is structured around four key pillars:
With nearly 180 partners from 37 countries, a 7-year duration and a total estimated budget of €380 million, ERDERA is the largest co-funded partnership in the field of rare disease research & innovation.
A number of institutions based in Flanders participate in the partnership, namely Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) as funder committing 3.5 MIO EUR, UHasselt, KU Leuven, UGent, UAntwerpen and VIB. The Belgian National Mirror Group for ERDERA is coordinated by Sciensano.
More information on ERDERA and its participants is available on the ERDERA website. The European Commission announcement is available here. The ERDERA press release is available here.

The AI4Culture project, funded under Digital Europe call Data space for cultural heritage (deployment) aims to develop an online capacity building hub for AI technologies in the cultural heritage sector. This hub contributes to the creation of the European common cultural heritage data space, which provides support to the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector and fosters the creation and reuse of content in cultural and creative sectors. The Flemish company CrossLang is one of the 12 partners in the project and brings in its year-long expertise in the development of multilingual technology to the transcription and translation of scanned printed and handwritten documents.
