The European Commission has recently announced a substantial increase in the budget allocated to the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2023-2024. The amendment sees a rise of almost EUR 1.4 billion, bringing the total budget to EUR 7.3 billion. This increase includes approximately EUR 124 million allocated specifically to support the EU Cancer Mission.
The amendment introduces six new Cancer Mission calls, which formally opened on April 18, 2024, and close on September 18, 2024. These calls target crucial areas of cancer research and treatment, ranging from enhancing data platforms to advancing early detection methods and improving the management of late-effects in adolescents and young adults with cancer.
Furthermore, the amendment introduces public procurement actions aimed at enhancing synergies with other EU missions, fostering international collaboration on cancer research, and ensuring effective communication and stakeholder engagement. These actions are backed by a budget of approximately EUR 5 million.
The Health cluster within Horizon Europe also introduces a new call focusing on Implementation research for managing multiple long-term conditions in the context of non-communicable diseases, with a budget of EUR 1 million.
