As part of the amended Horizon Europe Work Programme 2026 - 2027, the Commission has published a series of new call topics under the Horizontal Activities Work Programme 2027, including topic HORIZON-NATURE-2027-03-01, which may be of interest to stakeholders active in health research.

This topic, titled 'Advancing interdisciplinary, data-driven research at the biodiversity-health interface under a One Health approach', aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research linking biodiversity, ecosystem health, animal health and human health. The topic supports the operationalisation of One Health and Planetary Health approaches through improved data sharing, interoperability and evidence-based policymaking. The planned opening date for the topic is 3 June 2027, with the deadline on 16 September 2027.

The €20 million Research and Innovation Action invites the development of multiple use cases addressing biodiversity loss and its impact on health, including infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases and mental health. Proposals are expected to bring together expertise from life sciences, environmental sciences, data science and public health. This topic may therefore be particularly relevant for universities, research institutes, public health organisations, hospitals and other stakeholders working at the interface between environment and health.

GLAUKOS - Circular Solution for the Textile Industry

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant coordinated the Glaukos project, which answered the call topic published in 2019 of Horizon 2020 Framework Programme ‘Develop bio-based fibres and/or functional molecules to improve the performance of textile products’ under the Framework of the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). The consortium partners took up this challenge by valorising industrial side streams and setting up a circular approach to the textile industry.
