GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

This Partnership will be open in particular to public funders of Health research at both national and regional level in the Member States, countries associated to Horizon Europe and to other funders such as philanthropic organisations. The Partnership will integrate research and innovation areas covered by previous ERANET co-fund actions, Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs), as well as IICSs. It will be composed of two phases.

Phase 1 will start by co-creating an accepted and effective governance mechanism to achieve the following objectives:

1. To jointly identify and implement a common good/best practice funding strategy in priority areas of common interest and European benefit to advance health research and develop innovation.

2. To define and have a first measure of coordinated investment in Public Health Research for the European Research Area (EU and Associated countries).

3. To develop new approaches that overcome known bottlenecks and challenges to implement multinational IICS. This will be achieved in close collaboration with ongoing initiatives to support the conduct of multinational non-commercial studies. (further details p. 100 of the call document)

During Phase 2, additional multinational calls for IICSs and joint calls for other priority areas will be launched in accordance with the decision of the Health Programme Committee taken at the end of Phase 1 on the focus of the Partnership and the distribution of the budget between IICSs and other areas.

Capacity to bring together different stakeholders (e.g. research funders, health authorities, health and care institutions, innovators, policy makers).
