The European Partnership for Personalised Medicine, EP PerMed (supported by the European Union under Horizon Europe, Grant Agreement N° 101137129), is a platform for joint programming of national and European regional research and innovation supporting activities putting into action “The Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for Personalised Medicine (2023)”, SRIA for PM (2023), through dedicated research, development and innovation funding.

The second ERDERA call aims at facing the challenges of diagnosis in rare diseases. Accurately diagnosing RDs is a major challenge, with approximately 50% of individuals with a suspected rare genetic condition remaining undiagnosed or misdiagnosed despite standard clinical genetics care. In addition, RDs of non-genetic origin - estimated to account for about 10% of all RD cases - remain an under-investigated area. On average, it takes around 5 years to establish an accurate diagnosis for people living with a RD (PLWRD). Given the complexity of these disorders, multiple and complementary diagnostic approaches are required. This complexity underpins the objectives of this call.

The European Partnership for a sustainable Future of Food Systems (FutureFoodS) hereby pre-announces the 2nd co-funded call for transnational research projects.

The French National Research Agency (ANR) will launch a new transnational call for proposals in November 2025 under the THCS Partnership, which aims to transform health and care systems.
