Enhancing EU R&I Horizon Europe

The European Commission has launched a call for evidence to help shape the first action plan for women in research, innovation and start-ups. The EU’s action plan will address persistent gender gaps and promote diversity, equality and inclusiveness in the European Research Area (ERA). The plan aims to make the ERA the world’s most attractive place for women to work in research, innovation and startups by 2030. This initiative is aligned with the Choose Europe campaign, promoting the continent's research environment, quality of life and dedication to diversity and inclusion. The call is open to contributions from citizens, businesses, policymakers, academics and civil society organisations. It is open until 23 February 2026 on the Have Your Say portal.

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
