Horizon Europe (2021 – 2027)
Horizon Europe (HE) is the new research and innovation (R&I) framework program of the European Union (EU) for the period 2021 -2027, a fundamental instrument to carry out the EU's R&D&I policies. .
El target general of the program is:
● Strengthen the scientific and technological bases of the EU and the European Research Area (ERA).
● Boost Europe's innovation capacity, competitiveness and employment.
● Comply with citizens' priorities, as well as sustain our values and socioeconomic model.
The Commission has a budget of approximately €100 billion for HE, making it the largest budgeted framework program to date, with the potential to generate significant economic, social and scientific benefits.

Scheme:
It aims to increase the global scientific competitiveness of the European Union.
- European Research Council (ERC): support for excellent researchers and its teams with the aim of pursuing innovations of high risk and high benefit in any field of research, with scientific excellence being the only evaluation criterion.
- Marie Sklodowska Curie Shares (MSCA) : I support training and professional development of research staff from around the world through funding excellent doctoral programs, individual postdoctoral projects and collaborative projects.
- Research Infrastructures (RI): Empower Europe through an integrated ecosystem of world-class research and technological infrastructure, open and accessible so that all researchers can harness their potential for scientific advancement and innovation.
It aims to generate knowledge, intensify the impact of research and innovation (R&I) on the development and implementation of EU policies, as well as support for these policies, and promote access to and adoption of solutions. innovative in European industry, especially SMEs, and in society, facing global challenges.
Within this pillar we highlight, due to the relevance it has for the IIS Aragón, the Health Cluster, whose main objective is to improve and protect the health and well-being of citizens to prevent, diagnose, monitor, treat and cure diseases, develop health technologies and achieve more sustainable public health systems.
This objective is conveyed through 6 areas of intervention (destinations), within which calls are coming out:
- Health throughout life
- Environmental and social determinants of health and well-being
- Non-communicable diseases and rare diseases
- Infectious diseases, including poverty-associated and neglected diseases
- Digital tools, technologies and solutions for health and care, including personalized medicine
- Health care systems
Designed to deliver tangible results to lead a wave of breakthrough innovation, addressing challenges such as increasing venture funding, access to and transfer of research results, accelerating business transformation, and addressing fragmentation of the innovation ecosystem.
- European Innovation Council (EIC): HE one-stop shop for all types of innovators, from individuals to universities, research organizations and companies (SMEs, including start-ups and, in exceptional cases, small mid-caps).
- European Innovation Ecosystems (EIE): creation of more connected and efficient innovation ecosystems to support the scaling of companies, foster innovation and stimulate cooperation between national, regional and local innovation actors.
- European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT): EIT is Europe's largest innovation community that connects and enhances the knowledge triangle (education, business and research) of the continent to create products and services that solve society's challenges. Within the field of health, we find the EITHealth, with the aim of offering solutions that allow European citizens to live longer and healthier lives by promoting innovation.
This part of the program supports the geographic diversity, building the necessary capacities to enable successful participation in the R&I process, promoting networks of contacts and access to excellence, consequently, optimizing the impact of pillar 2 “Global challenges” and seeking synergies with pillar 3 “Europe”. Innovative.” Furthermore, this part of the program aims to advance the dissemination and exploitation of research results, reinforcing the interaction between education and research, and strengthening the collaboration across Europe opening up to European R&I networks.
To do this, this program is divided into two large sections:
- Expand participation and spread Excellence (Widening): The objective is to expand networks of excellence, including countries and regions that are less advanced in R&D&I systems, making them stronger and allowing the EU as a whole to advance together.
- Reform and improve the European Research and Innovation system (ERA): Based on the ERA policy priorities, it seeks to restructure the European research landscape towards greater cross-border cooperation, coordination of research policies and activities at European and national level, encourage the free movement of research personnel, scientific knowledge and innovation, the development of a critical mass of researchers and positioning Europe as a global pole of reference in this field.
The Horizon Europe program launches the Missions, created as a new way of providing concrete solutions to some of our greatest challenges, better linking European R&D&I to the needs of society and citizens. The missions have ambitious goals and the objective of delivering tangible results by 2030.
The CANCER MISSION proposes as a global objective advances in the next decade that allow save at least 3 million lives in Europe. In general terms, look for:
To do this, this program is divided into two large sections:
- Extend the life expectancy of cancer patients
- Achieve a higher quality of life for patients, survivors and the family environment
- Consolidate mechanisms that prevent or delay the onset of the disease.
European partnerships are initiatives in which the EU Commission and private and/or public partners commit to jointly support the development and implementation of a research and innovation programme.
Types of associations:
- Co-financed: public collaboration (CE) + public (country: in this case it is usually through the ISCIII or the AEI of the Ministry). Successors of the EJP and ERA-NET cofund initiatives.
- Institutional: public (CE) + public (institutions) collaboration. Successors of the EIT's Joint Undertaking Technologies and Knowledge Innovation Communities (KIT) initiatives.
- Co-scheduled: public (CE) + private collaboration (industrial associations or private partners). Successors of contractual public-private partnerships (PPP).

- Provide medicines, health products and products relevant to the crisis, and ensure they are affordable.
- Strengthen health systems, their resilience and resource efficiency
- Strengthen health data, digital tools and services, digital transformation of healthcare
- Improve access to healthcare
- Develop and implement EU health legislation and make evidence-based decisions
- Integrated work between national health systems
POCTEFA is a European cross-border cooperation programme created to promote the sustainable development of the border territory of Spain, France and Andorra. POCTEFA 2021-2027 is the acronym for the INTERREG VI-A Spain-France-Andorra Programme.
POCTEFA 2021-2027 is the sixth generation of Community financial support aimed at strengthening the economic and social integration of this area. POCTEFA co-finances cross-border cooperation projects designed and managed by actors on both sides of the Pyrenees and in the coastal areas participating in the Programme, preserving the smart, sustainable and inclusive development of the territory.
The Programme promotes the sustainable development of the border territory of Spain, France and Andorra through cross-border cooperation. It helps to reduce the development differences in the territory and to unite forces to achieve sustainable development of the region and the cohesion of the regions that comprise it. In short, the programme, thanks to European funds, helps improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the area.
The official languages of the POCTEFA 2021-2027 Program are Spanish as French.
