Horizon Europe 2026-2027: The Time to Lead Health and Sustainability Innovation

The European Commission has officially released the Horizon Europe Work Programmes for 2026 and 2027. With a planned investment of €14 billion, this final biennium of the framework programme stands as the ultimate opportunity for researchers and organisations to lead the European Union's technological and societal transformation.

At INNOVANDUM HEALTH, we understand that coordinating a proposal of this magnitude is not merely a matter of scientific excellence; it is a long-distance race that demands an impeccable impact strategy, a robust consortium, and technical writing that speaks the Commission's language fluently.

Strategic Priorities: The Heart of Pillar 2

The new calls for proposals do not just offer continuity; they introduce administrative simplification and a sharper focus on impact. At INNOVANDUM HEALTH, we focus our specialised support on the clusters where health and technology converge to create a resilient future:

• Cluster 1 (Health): Focussing on resilient health systems, mental health, applied biotechnology, and the use of AI in personalised medicine.
• Cluster 4 (Digital, Industry and Space): Key for MedTech projects, technological sovereignty, and industrial digitalisation applied to the healthcare sector.
• Cluster 5 (Climate, Energy and Mobility): Addressing the health-environment nexus and the decarbonisation of critical infrastructures.
• Cluster 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment): Driving the One Health approach and nature-based solutions for global wellbeing.
