  4. You can use free text when searching for interesting calls. All you need to do is to enter a phrase in the text bar that EuroAccess is to look for in its database.

    When looking for a phrase in the free text bar, the system will perform an exact-match search. This means that it will search the database for the exact words, in their exact order. However, you can opt for two different approaches:

    1. You can use “AND”, in this way: One AND Two. EuroAccess will look in the database for the fields which records contain both One and Two, regardless of their order and their position in any sentence.

    2. You can use the “OR”, in this way: One OR Two. In this case, EuroAccess will search the database for fields that contain either the word One or the word Two. It will retrieve all the fields with one of these words or with both.

    However, you should prefer phrases or complex words over simple words in you text searches.

short description

As part of EIT Health's Flagship, 'The Re-Industrialisation of Europe', EIT Health is inviting you to submit your innovative solutions to support Med4Cure’s groundbreaking initiatives – and be part of an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI). 

Call objectives

EIT Health is looking for projects that focus on:

  • Collecting, gathering, and studying bio-resources.
  • Tools for better understanding disease biology and increasing medical translatability.
  • Processing innovations through enhanced drug discovery, preclinical, and clinical procedures.
  • Innovative production processes and tools towards sustainability and resilience across the health value chain.

This opportunity is best suited to proposals that feature digital tools, personalised medicine, or green manufacturing. EIT Health is open to other complementary and integrated activities that address the above critical workstreams.

Expected effects and impacts

To significantly boost growth, job creation, and the green and digital transition, it is crucial to unite knowledge, expertise and resources across the EU. This Flagship will support the deployment of innovative healthcare products and production processes for pharmaceuticals. It aims to accelerate medical advancement and foster the resilience of the EU health industry by enhancing drug discovery. It will have an expanded scope, addressing two challenges: a focus on equipping Europe with a strong, innovative and export-friendly healthcare industry, alongside developing lasting and innovative European manufacturing capabilities regarding critical products, notably pharmaceuticals. By focussing on unmet medical needs such as rare diseases and developing innovative and more sustainable production processes for pharmaceuticals, the projects supported by this Flagship will improve the quality of healthcare and increase the EU's preparedness for emerging health threats, while contributing to the green transition.
