ProgrammesThe European Partnership on Rare Diseases (ERDERA) has preannounced its first Joint Transnational Call for Proposals on Rare Disease Therapies. The content of the preannouncement may be subject to change.
The call will formally open on 10 December and will have a two-stage submission process with deadline for pre-proposals in February 2025 and full proposal deadline in July 2025.
Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) participates in this call. More information on available funding for researchers based in Flanders and on who can apply & how will become available on the FWO website after official opening of the call.
The primary objective of the call is to support interdisciplinary, transnational collaborations that leverage complementary expertise to develop new therapies for rare diseases. Research projects should focus on pre-clinical studies involving small molecules or biologicals. This could include the development of novel therapies, biomarkers for therapy efficiency, or replication of pre-clinical studies to validate findings.
More information is available on the ERDERA website.

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
