As Horizon 2020 is slowly coming to a close, the European Commission (EC) is publishing the final call details. To summarise these we’ve created a straightforward and easy to understand infographic on upcoming health call deadlines. This year will see a total of four 2-stage call topics and three 1-stage call topics leading to funding for 35-60 new projects. These will be joined by further 55-105 projects, all of which will be proposing to 1-stage call topics, in 2020.

Our CEO, Jeanette Müller, who has been supporting researchers for over 20 years in the acquisition and management of Health-related EU projects will be at the Open Info Day, Horizon 2020 – ‘Health, demographic change and wellbeing‘ in Brussels on 3rd July 2019. Contact us if you would like to use this opportunity to meet with Jeanette and find out more about how accelopment can support you in writing your next H2020 Health proposal.
