Published on | 7 months ago

Programmes Health Joint Research Center

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission has launched a new call in the framework of JRC Open Access to its Research Infrastructures. This is the first call launched by the EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing. 

The Call offers access to the JRC in vitro High Throughput Testing (HTT) laboratory. This opportunity is available to users who wish to automate their in vitro methods to assess their transferability, reliability, and overall performance. By generating large datasets from bespoke compound libraries, this initiative supports the evaluation of a method’s relevance for specific applications and advances the implementation of non-animal approaches to toxicological testing for the regulatory safety assessment of chemicals.

The call deadline is 31 March 2025

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.
