Towards structuring brain health research in Europe

This program specifically targets a broad spectrum of entities and individuals engaged in brain health research and policy, spanning across European Union Member States, Associated Countries, and, in exceptional cases, the United States. Its primary objective is to strategically coordinate and enhance brain health research efforts, laying the groundwork for a future European partnership.

This funding program specifically supports initiatives aimed at structuring and advancing brain health research. It focuses on developing strategic frameworks, fostering collaboration, and leveraging existing infrastructures rather than funding specific disease treatments or cures. The supported activities are primarily at the foundational and strategic planning stages, preparing the ground for future impactful research and innovation.

The program provides financial support in the form of grants, with a specific maximum funding amount allocated for this particular topic. This aims to facilitate crucial coordination and support actions within the European brain health research landscape.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to specific conditions for application, consortium formation, and other operational provisions, as outlined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes and topic-specific requirements.

The application process for this call was a single-stage procedure with a defined submission period and subsequent evaluation. Applicants were required to submit proposals through the designated online system.

This funding program is firmly rooted in the comprehensive legal framework of Horizon Europe, established by foundational EU regulations and further governed by a suite of specific legal and financial guidelines.
