Programmes HealthThe Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking has published its Work Programme 2026, announcing €147 million to fund research and innovation projects tackling major global health challenges.
The 2026 calls for proposals will open mid-January 2026 and include six topics:
four research and innovation action (RIA) topics (two-stage) aimed at developing new or improved TB drugs, supporting the prevention and management of lower respiratory tract infections, ensuring better prevention, treatment and management of HIV and its co-infections and co-morbidities, and addressing the global challenge of climate and health. Deadline for short proposals is 4 March 2026 (first stage). Succesful consortia at the first stage will be invited to submit a full proposal by 17 September 2026 (second stage).
two coordination and support action (CSA) call topics (single-stage) will support training and capacity-building activities in the areas of ethics, regulatory and pharmacovigilance, and enhance integrated research and healthcare through digital innovation and artificial intelligence. Deadline for submission is 31 August 2026.

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.
