Health Cluster in the next European research and innovation framework programme

On October 12th at 3pm, the first session of Destiiiinations will take place.

In this initiative promoted by the Strategic Areas of the Interdisciplinary Research Institute, Cluster 1 (Health) will be presented within Horizon Europe, the next program dedicated to research and innovation in the European Union.

The program of the session will start with two presentations in which it is intended: 1) to explore the relationship between Horizon Europe, research in Health and the U.C., and 2) to make known the support provided by DAPI - Division of Support and Promotion of Research to projects funded by European funds.

The advantages of participating and (above all) leading a European research project will be discussed at a later stage, with the example of the CEGOT's EURO-HEALTHY project.
