HORIZON EUROPE – JOINT GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVE EDCTP3
The second work program of the Joint Global Health Initiative EDCTP3 (European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership) takes into account the priorities defined in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. It is based on input from the Scientific Committee and partners of the Joint Global Health Initiative EDCTP3.
The EDCTP exists to accelerate the clinical development of new or improved health technologies for the identification, treatment and prevention of neglected and poverty-related infectious diseases, including (re)emerging diseases, particularly those affecting Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). ). In addition, the EDCTP funds activities to develop research capacity in Africa, supporting the networking and careers of researchers and strengthening national health research systems. In addition, the association facilitates the alignment of public and private funders around a common Strategic Agenda for Research and Innovation.
The call is planned to be launched on May 9th 2023 with a submission deadline for pre-proposals in July 2023. It is expected that consortia invited to the full-proposal stage will be asked to submit their proposal in December 2023.

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 (ie 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
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 an 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.
DIGITAL-2023-CLOUD-AI-04-ICU-DATA:

HORIZON-CL3-2023-DRS-01-01: Improving social and societal preparedness for disaster response and health emergencies
MSCA Doctoral Networks will implement doctoral programmes, by partnerships of universities, research institutions and research infrastructures, businesses including SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe and beyond. MSCA Doctoral Networks are indeed open to the participation of organizations from third countries, in view of fostering strategic international partnerships for the training and exchange of researchers. These doctoral programs will respond to well-identified needs in various R&I areas, expose the researchers to the academic and non-academic sectors, and offer training in research-related, as well as transferable skills and competences relevant for innovation and long-term employability (eg entrepreneurship, commercialization of results, Intellectual Property Rights, communication).
Second season (spring 2023) of 10-11 sessions (almost) every Monday between 11 a.m. and 12.30:XNUMX p.m. (approx.) Registration and subsequent material (video & slides) on the CDTI platform. REGISTRATION OPEN TO ALL on the CDTI events website
Weekly sessions of about 60-90 minutes to offer an overview of the partnerships associated with the Pillar-II Clusters of Horizon Europe, for each sector or sub-sector.
Main objective: Update and improve knowledge of these initiatives to allow a good understanding of the landscape of options to participate in Horizon Europe. Have a vision of the next initiatives to be implemented in the coming years, know the influential and decision-making actors to better position ourselves and improve our “lobbying” and relevance actions.
Target audience: all those public and private entities, researchers, technologists, profit and non-profit companies and organizations (including public administration of all areas) that participate or want to participate in collaborative Framework Program projects. During the session, questions from the public are collected through chat and answered during breaks in the guests' speech.

The session is taught in English.
The planned program is:
10:00 | Welcome and introduction | Director of the COST Association
10:10 | What is COST and how to participate in a COST Action? | COST Policy Officer
10:30 | How to submit an application? Tips & tricks | COST Science Officer
10:40 | Which activities are funded? | COST Administrative Officer

11:15 | Q&A
11:30 | End of the session
This online event will showcase how the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) projects are delivering results that will improve how clinical trials are run.
Clinical trials are essential to demonstrate the benefits and risks of new interventions such as medicines and vaccines. However, conducting clinical trials can be challenging due to factors such as slow participant recruitment, low participant retention, limited availability of trained investigators and high quality clinical sites to run clinical trials, the burden of trial-related visits to the clinical site, high costs , limited generalisability of trial results to routine clinical practice, high costs, etc.
This event is an opportunity to feature some of the IMI project results that will contribute to the Accelerating Clinical Trials in the EU (ACT EU)
initiative launched by the European Commission, the Heads of Medicines Agencies and the European Medicines Agency.
The event is part of a series of live sessions that IHI is organizing on the impacts of IMI in different fields.
The session will focus on projects supported by the Innovative Medicines Initiative, a partnership between the European Union and the European pharmaceutical industry.
