There is a need to assess the ATM benefits that can be derived from further usage of TP enhancements for supporting tools (derived from the use of ADS-C data, including EPP), notably in terms of enhancement of conformance monitoring, improvement of predictability, reduction of tactical interventions and improvement of de-confliction of traffic. Objectives This VLD […]
Read MoreH2020. Environmental Intelligence
New synergies between the distant disciplines of environmental modelling, advanced sensor research, social sciences, and Artificial Intelligence can lead to radically new approaches for creating and using dynamic models of the environment, including predictive modelling, scenario testing and real-time tracking. The ultimate goal is to build a systemic understanding of the socio-environmental inter-relationships, for instance, […]
Read MoreH2020. Innovations to accelerate vaccine development and manufacture
Vaccination is one of the greatest achievements in healthcare. However, developing a vaccine remains costly, time-consuming, and risky. Advances in immunology, disease modelling, in silico modelling, including the analysis of big data and the application of machine learning (ML) artificial intelligence (AI), provide opportunities to innovate, de-risk and accelerate the vaccine-development process. Many of these […]

Support to transnational projects in quantum technologies, fostering synergy between European, national and regional initiatives and promoting broader partnerships between the European stakeholders in quantum technologies. Scope The aim is to support the networking and coordination of national activities in support of the Quantum Flagship by implementing a joint call for proposals resulting primarily in […]
Read MoreH2020. Pre-commercial Procurement for Digital Health and Care Solutions
Digital solutions supporting a continuum of care across a range of health and care services can relieve the pressure on governments to provide more cost-effective health and care systems by improving the use of healthcare and health outcomes. In this context, the challenges are to network, lead and facilitate health systems research, innovation and digitisation […]

The European Commission funds through Horizon 2020, the EU research and innovation programme, up to €45 million of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) fast track call for research proposals in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Scope Proposals submitted under this topic are expected to advance the knowledge specifically on COVID-19 and more widely on the […]
Read MoreHealth Programme: Support for health investment
Health stakeholders face challenges when it comes to planning, accessing and combining funding to meet the needs of their health systems. Most health authorities are accustomed to receiving direct funding from government budgets and European Union grants, and do not have sufficient skills to shape strategies and investment plans. There is a clear need to […]
Read MoreH2020. The ethics of technologies with high socio-economic impact
Technologies with potentially high socio-economic impact raising complex ethical issues must be analysed from an ethical perspective to maximise their societal benefit and minimise harm. Challenge The exponential scientific progress resulting in the mushrooming of these new technologies (e.g. gene editing, DNA digital data storage, Artificial Intelligence, etc.), calls for a coherent research and innovation ethics approach at […]
Read MoreH2020: Under water noise mitigation and environmental impact
Underwater noise from shipping and boats impact upon the behaviour and health of water organisms in rivers and at sea, including marine mammals. Despite previous research, the environmental impacts from effects and the propagation of underwater noise at different amplitudes and frequencies remain poorly understood and largely unquantified. The general objective is to better understand […]
