Programmes Research Infrastructures Health

The first four COVID-19 call topics are published on the Funding and Tender portal (keyword covid). The opening of the calls is postponed from 13 April (as was previously communicated) to 15 April, due to technical problems with the submission system on the Funding and Tender portal. However the necessary information and documents are already available on the portal. 

Two topics are taken up in the Health work programme:

- HORIZON-HLTH-2021-CORONA-01-01: vaccine & therapeutic clinical trials to boost COVID-19 prevention and treatment

- HORIZON-HLTH-2021-CORONA-01-02: cohorts united against COVID-19 variants of concern

Two topics are included in the Research infrastructure work programme:

- HORIZON-INFRA-2021-EMERGENCY-01: FAIR and open data sharing in support to European preparedness for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases

- HORIZON-INFRA-2021-EMERGENCY-02: infrastructure services for rapid research responses to Covid-19 and other infectious disease epidemics

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
