Alexander von Humboldt Foundation: Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship enables researchers based in Germany to carry out a research stay abroad. The academic host must be a member of the Humboldt Network or hold one of a specified group of international academic awards. The fellowship is open to researchers from Germany in all disciplines. It […]
Daimler and Benz Foundation: Ladenburg Horizons – German–African Research Collaborations
The Daimler and Benz Foundation is inviting applications for its Ladenburg Horizons programme, which funds interdisciplinary research collaborations between German and African institutions. This includes projects in which the German institution is building a new African partnership or developing an existing one. The programme 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 connect AI and digital modelling with clinical decision support in prevention and diagnosis. The topic (HORIZON-HLTH-2027-03-TOOL-04) has a budget of €39.3 million, with €10–12 million per project. The call opens on 3 June 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 non-communicable diseases. Projects will develop predictive biomarkers of disease progression and treatment response from longitudinal health data, supporting personalised medicine. The topic (HORIZON-HLTH-2027-02-TOOL-01) has a budget of €44.2 million, with €6–8 million 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 pre-primary and primary education. Projects should provide evidence on the benefits, risks and educational effects of AI, including ethical questions and children’s well-being, and develop practical guidance for educators and parents. The topic (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 extended functionality and ultra-low-power operation. Applications include computing, sensing, data processing and AI. The topic (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 17 November 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 frontier AI. The topic places particular emphasis on computational efficiency and safe-by-design advanced AI. It also envisages AI agents that act as safety evaluators themselves. The topic (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 close 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 topic (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 programme supports organisations in establishing or strengthening doctoral programmes and postdoctoral fellowship schemes. EU co-funding is provided per researcher-month. Programmes can be broad or discipline-specific, and should follow MSCA principles of international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral training and researcher mobility. The call (HORIZON-MSCA-2027-COFUND-01) has an indicative EU-wide budget of €51.25 million. […]
