The European Commission is preparing the next wave of major research and health funding. The Horizon Europe Work Programmes 2025 were published by the European Commission on May 14th (available here). The Horizon Europe and EU4Health Work Programmes for 2026 and 2027 remain unpublished, while HERA (Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority) has released its 2025 Work Programme.
Leaked draft versions of the 2026–2027 Work Programmes—including preliminary lists of Horizon Europe Health, Marie Curie Actions, and Research Infrastructure calls—are also circulating. Science Business provides access to the most recent unofficial drafts here.
