New AZV ČR agenda: European partnerships in healthcare
The AZV ČR, on behalf of the Ministry of Health, will, from September this year, organise the agenda concerning the involvement of Czech scientists in European partnerships in healthcare. These partnerships are a key tool for the implementation of the EU's 9th Framework Programme for Research, Development and Innovation, "Horizon Europe".
European Partnerships are a "new generation" of cooperation that make a significant contribution to achieving EU policy priorities, replacing previous forms of partnerships such as ERA-NET Co-fund or Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs). There are three types of partnerships - co-funded, co-programmed and institutionalised.
"Participation in European partnerships represents a unique opportunity for the Czech Republic to cooperate in research, development and innovation activities at a pan-European level. Thanks to this, it will be possible to contribute not only to solving civilizational diseases, but also to raising the level of Czech research and development through international and inter-sectoral cooperation," says Professor Ondřej Slabý, the AZV ČR Chair.
Within the 1. Strategic Plan (2021-2024), 9 European partnerships in healthcare have been proposed:
*European Rare Diseases Research Alliance (ERDERA) - co-funded
*One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (OH AMR) - co-funded
*Personalised Medicine (PerMed) - co-funded
*Assessment of Risk from Chemicals (PARC) - co-funded
*ERA for Health Research (ERA4Health) - co-funded
*Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) - co-funded
*Pandemic Preparedness (BE-READY) - co-programmed
*Global Health (EDCTP 3) - Institutionalized
*Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU) - institutionalized
On the basis of the new findings and ongoing discussions, the Czech Republic will participate in 5 co-funded European partnerships - ERDERA, OH AMR, PerMed, ERA4Health and THCS- through the AZV ČR. More information can be found on the International Cooperation subpage.
The European Health Partnerships engagement agenda is now the responsibility of AZV ČR's Mgr. Monika Kocmanová. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact her at or by calling +420 606 273 871.
