Horizon Europe - ERC Synergy Grants (ERC-2023-SyG)
 
The aim is to provide support for a small group of two to four Principal Investigators to jointly address ambitious research problems that could not be addressed by the individual Principal Investigators and their teams working alone. Synergy projects should enable substantial advances at the frontiers of knowledge, stemming, for example, from the cross-fertilization of scientific fields, from new productive lines of enquiry, or new methods and techniques, including unconventional approaches and investigations at the interface between established disciplines. The transformative research funded by Synergy Grants should have the potential of becoming a benchmark on a global scale.

Networking Group Call 2022 “Chronic Pain”

Chronic pain imposes a massive burden to the individual, the health system, and the economy worldwide. It leads to a severe reduction in the quality of life of those affected and their families. Patients' daily activities such as work and social interactions are heavily impaired. As a consequence, chronic pain can lead to sleep problems, depression and anxiety. The underlying mechanisms are often not understood. Thus, joined efforts of basic scientist, clinicians, lay organisations, and policymakers are needed to understand the pathophysiology, improve diagnosis and therapy, increase awareness, and improve the every-day life of the patients. The success of biomedical research however, is hampered by the lack of harmonization of procedures, experimental methodologies, and data management. For the translation and implementation of future research outcomes into clinical practice, as well as for shaping future research priorities, it is essential to form synergies in the research community, to overcome gaps and hurdles, to build overarching networks, and to generate harmonizing concepts and ideas. Thus, a networking call in the field of chronic pain is now launched under the umbrella of the ERA-NET NEURON.

EJP RD – Networking Support Scheme (NSS)

The first aim of the Networking Support Scheme in the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) is to encourage sharing of knowledge on rare diseases or rare cancers between health care professionals, researchers and patients in new or expanding research networks by funding networking events.

The second aim of the Networking Support Scheme is to enable or increase the participation of usually underrepresented countries in Europe in new and in expanding research networks on rare diseases or rare cancers.

The scheme will provide financial support to applicants to organize workshops or conferences. These workshops or conferences are meant to
1. Form new research networks or expand existing research networks;
2. Strengthen collaborations between different stakeholders in different countries;
3. Enable the exchange of knowledge.
4. These workshops or conferences should be (the implications of) research results and innovative solutions. The results of these networking events may lead to future collaborative and novel research efforts.

Horizon Europe – ERC Proof of Concept Grant
(ERC-2023-POC)

Horizon Europe – ERC Proof of Concept Grant (ERC-2023-POC)
The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research, by funding further work (i.e. activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original ERC frontier research grant) to verify the innovation potential of ideas arising from ERC funded projects. Proof of Concept Grants are therefore on offer only to Principal Investigators whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.

The financial contribution will be awarded as a lump sum of EUR 150 000 for a period of 18 months. The ERC expects that, normally, proof of concept activities should be completed within 12 months. However, to allow for those projects that require more preparation time, the grant agreements will be signed for 18 months. Extensions of the duration of proof of concept projects may be granted only exceptionally.The lump sum will cover the beneficiaries' direct and indirect eligible costs for the project: if the project is implemented properly, the amounts will be paid regardless of the costs actually incurred. The lump sum has been designed to cover the beneficiaries’ personnel costs, subcontracting, purchase costs, other cost categories, and indirect costs.

All Principal Investigators in an ongoing ERC main grant or in a ERC main grant that has ended less than 12 months before 1 January 2023, are eligible to apply for an ERC Proof of Concept Grant.

For further information please see the ERC Work Programme 2023.

Principal Investigators must demonstrate the ground-breaking nature, ambition and feasibility of their scientific proposal.
Consolidator Grants may be awarded up to a maximum of EUR 2 000 000 for a period of 5 years. The maximum size of the grants is reduced pro rata temporis for projects of a shorter duration. (This does not apply to ongoing projects).
The Principal Investigators shall have been awarded their first PhD at least 7 and up to 12 years prior to 1 January 2023. Cut-off dates: PhD awarded from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015 (inclusive).

Climate crisis, heat stress, infectious disease threats: Health impacts and solutions in Europe
9 de Noviembre. 14:00 - 15:00 | Registro
 
The climate crisis is increasingly affecting our health and wellbeing. In August this year, around the same time when millions of Europeans suffered from record-breaking high temperatures, new research published in the science journal Nature suggested that climate change can aggravate over half of known human pathogenic diseases.

Developed under the European Climate and Health Observatory initiative, the new European Environment Agency report ‘Climate change as a threat to health and well-being in Europe: focus on heat and infectious diseases’ puts these two threats in sharp focus, and it outlines solutions in policy and practice.

The webinar is open to all stakeholder after registration

Webinar: The role of Primary Care in community mental health
30 de Noviembre | Programa
 
Primary care is in the heart of community mental health care. Primary Care professionals have important roles in referring patients to specialized mental health services, providing integrated care for physical and mental health for co-existing conditions (e.g. diabetes and depression) and to serve as the linking pin between specialized care, primary care and social services. See also the EFPC position paper on mental health.

Therefore, EFPC is happy to collaborate with EUCOMS (The European Community Mental Health Service providers network). We are strongly connected and have a Memorandum of Understanding. We recommend reading their consensus paper with a vision of a network approach in community mental health care.

In a joint webinar both networks will shine a light on an ecosystem approach to mental health in primary care. Chaired by Dineke Smit (EFPC) and Rene Keet (EUCOMS)


 


The 4th International Conference on Rare Diseases
