The Commission launched a call for expression of interest to join the new Industry-Academia Network under the European Cyber Skills Academy.

This network will strengthen the links between industry and academia to boost cybersecurity skills, ensuring the European cyber workforce is adequately equipped to meet growing demands in the sector.

Members of the network will include stakeholders of the Cybersecurity Skills Academy and higher education institutions, European University Alliances, and vocational education and training (VET) providers. They will focus on aligning the needs of the cybersecurity job market with academic and training offerings that suit current and emerging needs of the workforce. Concrete partnerships are expected to emerge, encompassing joint curricula, mentorship programmes, apprenticeships, and other initiatives.  

The call will remain open on a permanent basis, however, stakeholders wishing to be part of the network's launch group should apply by 5 January 2025.

Methylomic – Hope & Improved outcomes for Crohn’s disease patients across Europe

The METHYLOMIC project, ‘targeting hope for personalised medicine in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project aims to personalise treatment allocation and enhance the effectiveness of medications for chronic immune-mediated diseases such as Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. BIRD, the Belgian inflammatory bowel disease research and development group, is a partner in the project and is involved in the OmiCrohn trial, a prospective randomised clinical trial for individualised therapy in Crohn’s disease patients. With BIRD’s active role in this trial, the project is set to deliver predictive, biomarker-based therapies that bring renewed hope for Crohn’s disease patients across Europe.
