Programmes HealthThe European Rare Diseases Research Alliance (ERDERA) will launch its 2026 joint transnational call 'Resolving unsolved cases in rare genetic and non-genetic diseases' on 10 December 2025. The goal of this call is to solve Undiagnosed Rare Genetic diseases and to address complex, multifactorial Rare Non-Genetic diseases by identifying causative variants in patients with no molecular diagnosis after prior genetic or genomic testing and providing diagnostic clarity for conditions of unknown or mixed pathogenesis.
Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) plans to participate in this call. More information on available funding for researchers based in Flanders and on how to apply will be published on FWO's website once the call is launched. Deadline for the submission of pre-proposals is 12 February 2026. Questions on available funding by FWO? Contact europe@fwo.be.
More information on the call, its conditions and how to apply will be made available soon on the ERDERA dedicated webpage. Interested in applying? Join the information webinar on 16 December 2025 here.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
