Summary

Forthcoming EU call topic HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01-ENVHLTH-MISSCLIMA-03 · HORIZON Pre-commercial Procurement. Part of call HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01: Cluster 1 - Health (Single stage - 2027/1). Opens 2026-10-29; next deadline 2027-02-17. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01-ENVHLTH-MISSCLIMA-03

Expected Outcome: This topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several expected impacts of destination “Living and working in a health-promoting environment” and the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. To that end, proposals under this topic should aim to deliver results that are directed at, tailored towards and contributing to most of the following expected outcomes: - Populations, public authorities and healthcare systems benefit from innovative solutions and technologies to increase surveillance and prevention and reduce climatic and environmental health risks. - Policymakers and public authorities develop and implement environment, climate change and health policies and interventions supported by nearly fit-for-use solutions that can be further upscaled and deployed.

Scope: Enhancing the adaptive capacity and resilience of healthcare systems and communities is crucial to prevent and reduce the health impacts of climate change. However, many of the urgently needed technologies, tools, systems and solutions are still at an early developmental stage, relying on further support for development and testing. Proposals under this topic are expected to close this gap and build on innovations being developed in the field, supported through, among others, EU Research and Innovation (R&I) funding. In this context, Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) projects can drive innovation and speed up the development of technologies for health adaptation to climate change by supporting the research and development of solutions to increase the resilience and…

What European Union reviewers look for

  • Most Horizon Europe calls score three criteria (the ERC uses excellence alone). Excellence: clarity and ambition of the objectives, and the soundness of the methodology.
  • Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
  • Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
