You 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.
