ProgrammesMid-September 2026, the PRISM project will launch an open call for proposals (cascade funding) on paediatric multinational investigator-initiated clinical studies. PRISM will select, according to a two-stage procedure, pilot paediatric clinical studies with the objective to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end support for multinational investigator-initiated studies conducted in 3 to 6 countries in Europe and Canada.
Eligible projects include pragmatic comparative effectiveness trials, optimisation studies, repurposing trials or observational studies in any disease area except cancer and rare diseases.
The deadline for Letters of Intent will be in mid-December 2026. Short-listed projects will get support from the PRISM consortium during the design and planning of the full application.
Stay tuned for more information, including on how to apply on the PRISM website.
Background: Funded under Horizon Europe, the Paediatric clinical Research Infrastructure Service Model (PRISM) project is a European consortium coordinated by ECRIN bringing together 23 key stakeholders from Europe and Canada. The project aims to transform paediatric clinical research by creating a coordinated, transnational ecosystem of experienced infrastructures and service organisations.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

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.
