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

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
