Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes Health

The 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.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

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.
