GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The partnership will contribute to building a coherent European Research Area (ERA), enabling Member States, Associated Countries and the European Commission to rapidly and jointly support research and innovation in pandemic preparedness.

The Partnership is expected to continue to build on existing pandemic preparedness networks and research infrastructures and work in synergy with the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA).

Proposals should include all of the following activities:

• Provide administrative and organisational support to prepare, ensure a smooth start and transition towards the European partnership for pandemic preparedness that will eventually take over these tasks;
• Actively engage with relevant stakeholders and initiatives in the area of pandemic preparedness, ensuring collaboration and coordination, and avoiding duplication; e.g. the Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking, GloPID-R, WHO R&D blueprint, ACT Accelerator, etc.;
• Implement strong communication and dissemination activities at EU level and in Member States and Associated Countries, on the purpose, activities and outputs of the European partnership for pandemic preparedness, ensuring a continuous dialogue, both outside and during epidemic/pandemic episodes;
• As relevant, apply a cross-cutting, interdisciplinary One Health approach.
