Pandemic Preparedness

Partnership website: https://beready4pandemics.eu/

This Partnership will serve as a coordinated, long-termframework to strengthen Europe’s capacity to respond to health crises. The partnership is currently under preparation.

The European Partnership for Pandemic Preparedness aims to improve the EU’s preparedness to predict, prevent and respond to emerging infectious health threats by better coordinating funding for research and innovation at EU, national and regional level. The preparatory actions BE READY and BE READY PLUS are building the foundation for the future partnership expected to be launched beginning of 2026.  

The preparatory action BE READY PLUS kicked off in April 2025 with the aim to translate research priorities into actionable steps through a call topic selection strategy aligned with the SRIA. BE READY PLUS will lay the groundwork for early actions, ensuring that the partnership is fully prepared to implement the SRIA from its first annual workplan.

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.
