Summary

Open EU call topic HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01-CARE-02 · HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions. Part of call HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01: Cluster 1 - Health (Single stage - 2027/1). Next deadline 2027-02-17. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01-CARE-02
