Published on | 1 month ago

Programmes Health

The European Partnership ERA4Health has opened its seventh Joint Transnational Call that will fund 'Multi-country Investigator Initiated Clinical Trials in Cardiovascular, Autoimmune and Metabolic diseases' (Trials4Health).

The aims of the call are:
- to support randomised interventional multi-country Investigator-Initiated Clinical Studies that are designed as pragmatic comparative-effectiveness studies and/or drug repurposing studies.
- to encourage and enable transnational collaboration between clinical/public health research teams (from hospital/ public health, healthcare settings and other healthcare organisations) that conduct multi-country IICS, either comparative-effectiveness or drug repurposing studies.

Note that clinical studies conducted for direct commercial purposes are excluded from support by the ERA4Health programme. In the case of the involvement of any private for-profit entity, it is needed that the consortia duly justify their role in the proposal and that there is no commercial purpose or benefit.

Belgium participates in the call with KCE Trials acting as Belgian funding organisation. Find out who can submit at Belgian level and the details of the additional requirements for Belgium here.

Find out more about the call and conditions to apply on the ERA4Health dedicated webpage. Deadline for pre-proposal submission is 27 January 2026. Documents required at national level and a copy of the pre-proposal must be sent by e-mail to KCE within the same deadline (trials@kce.fgov.be).

STARGATE - Sustainable Aviation

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”.  It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
