ProgrammesYou may have noticed that call topics for 2025 are not yet available on the Funding & Tenders Portal. This is due to ongoing preparatory work. Adoption will be the earliest in April 2025. To stay ahead, consider reading a draft version.
A work programme is typically drafted in stages. It begins with setting priorities, after which topics are drafted in collaboration between the Commission, expert groups and stakeholders. This initial phase is followed by consultations with Member States and advisory bodies. Drafts undergo subsequently several reviews and revisions before their final adoption. Once a work programme is adopted, the call topics are published on the Funding & Tenders Portal.
The procedure for consultation of the stakeholders was finalised end of 2024. Currently, an Inter-Service Consultation is ongoing. This will lead to a version that is expected to be adopted by the Programme Committee in March 2025, so that the Work Programme can finally be adopted in April 2025.
It is reasonable to expect that most of the the call topics will have submission deadlines the earliest by the end of the Summer. Currently 18 September 2024 (for single stage & first-stage applications) and 16 April 2026 (for second stage applications of two-stage topics) circulate as tentative closing dates.
The best way to prepare is by reading the draft work programme. Even though these are not final documents and changes may occur until official publication, they do give a good indication on what to expect.
The easiest way forward is to download the version from December 2024 on Science Business of the Health WP 2025.

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.
