The goal of this new fund is to help deliver, mature and scale new internet commons across the whole technology spectrum, from libre silicon to middleware, from P2P infrastructure to convenient end user applications. We have a holistic, full-stack approach, simply because there is no other way. If we want to reclaim the public nature of the internet and yield the full benefits from technology as a society, we need to have full coverage — period.

Scaling up innovation in cardiovascular health

Closed

Code: 39613 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-15 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Health (Cluster 1) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 10/02/2026 | End submission calls: 16/04/2026

CVDs are the main cause of death in the EU, with over 1.7 million deaths annually, costing about EUR 282 billion, or 11% of the healthcare budget.

With projections showing a rise in CVD prevalence and mortality by 2050 due to an aging population, the Commission is preparing a comprehensive EU Cardiovascular Health (CVH) plan to support Member States in their efforts to reduce the burden of CVDs.

The proposal is expected to support prevention, early detection, including via digital and personalised approaches.

Understanding of sex and/or gender-specific mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases: determinants, risk factors and pathways

Closed

Code: 39610 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-11 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Health (Cluster 1) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 10/02/2026 | End submission calls: 16/04/2026

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of premature deaths in the EU and account for 32% of all deaths in 2021 (over 1.7 million deaths).

Biological sex and gender play a specific role both in the incidence and the prevalence of certain diseases, including CVDs. Sex and gender disparities in CVDs are influenced by biological, behavioural, and sociocultural factors, affecting symptoms, prevalence, treatment, and outcomes. Hormonal influences, genetic predispositions, and/or physiological differences contribute to variations in how CVD presents and progresses in men and women. Risk factors such as diabetes, cholesterol, smoking, and age have different impacts across genders, highlighting the need for customised treatment strategies. Unique gender-specific conditions in women, such as menopause, pregnancy complications like preeclampsia and certain autoimmune diseases, also increase the risk for CVDs.

Mainstreaming a gender perspective into the research, prevention and control of CVDs is thus crucial to understanding and addressing the health risks and needs of women and men of all ages.

Although the significant progress has been done in investigating sex and/or gender-specific pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases, more research is needed to translate basic discoveries into the development of innovative prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment options.
