Daimler and the Benz Foundation: Ladenburg Horizons – German–African Research Collaborations
The Daimler and Benz Foundation is inviting applications for its Ladenburg Horizons program, which funds interdisciplinary research collaborations between German and African institutions. This includes projects in which the German institution is establishing a new partnership with an African institution or expanding an existing one. The program supports research alliances, not individual mobility. Funding of up to €300,000 […]
Horizon Europe Call: Virtual Human Twins for Clinical Decision Support
The European Commission is calling for proposals to develop Virtual Human Twins: multi-scale, multi-organ models of individual patients. The models should integrate AI and digital modeling with clinical decision support for prevention and diagnosis. The call (HORIZON-HLTH-2027-03-TOOL-04) has a budget of €39.3 million, with €10–12 million per project. The call opens on June 3, 2027, […]
Horizon Europe Call: AI-Based Predictive Biomarkers for Chronic Diseases
The European Commission is funding a two-stage Research and Innovation Action that applies AI methodologies to chronic noncommunicable diseases. Projects will develop predictive biomarkers of disease progression and treatment response based on longitudinal health data, thereby supporting personalized medicine. The call (HORIZON-HLTH-2027-02-TOOL-01) has a budget of €44.2 million, with €6–8 million allocated per project. The call opens on […]
Horizon Europe Call: AI in Pre-Primary and Primary Education
The European Commission is calling for research on the effective use of artificial intelligence in early childhood and elementary education. Projects should provide evidence on the benefits, risks, and educational effects of AI—including ethical issues and children’s well-being—and develop practical guidance for educators and parents. The call (HORIZON-CL2-2027-01-TRANSFO-05) has a budget of €12 million, […]
Horizon Europe Call: Integrated Photonic Devices for Ultra-Low Power Consumption
Under Horizon Europe, the European Commission is funding research on integrated photonic devices and circuits with enhanced functionality and ultra-low-power operation. Applications include computing, sensing, data processing, and AI. The call (HORIZON-CL4-2027-05-DIGITAL-EMERGING-03) has a budget of €25 million, with €3–5 million per project and six projects expected. The call opens on November 17, 2026, and […]
Horizon Europe Call: EU Frontier AI Initiative
The European Commission has launched a large-scale Research and Innovation Action to strengthen European capabilities in cutting-edge AI. The topic places particular emphasis on computational efficiency and advanced AI that is safe by design. It also envisions AI agents that act as safety evaluators themselves. The call (HORIZON-CL4-2027-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-11) has a budget of €44 million, and one project is expected […]
Horizon Europe Call: AI-Driven Robotics for Industry
Under Horizon Europe, the European Commission is funding an Innovation Action to bridge the gap between AI and robotics research and industrial deployment. The topic focuses on modular and interoperable system integration, standards and protocols, safety testing, evaluation and validation, intelligent planning and control, and scalable robotics. The call (HORIZON-CL4-2027-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-05) has a budget of €18 […]
EU Call: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions COFUND 2027
The European Commission’s MSCA COFUND program supports organizations in establishing or strengthening doctoral programs and postdoctoral fellowship schemes. EU co-funding is provided on a per-researcher-month basis. Programs can be broad or discipline-specific and should adhere to the MSCA principles of international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral training and researcher mobility. The call (HORIZON-MSCA-2027-COFUND-01) has an indicative EU-wide budget of €51.25 million. […]
