2025 Funding Opportunities

EU4Health 2025 work programme

The European Commission has launched the 2025 Work Programme of EU4Health. With a total budget of over €570 million for the year, it will bring together a range of calls under five main strands:

  • Crisis preparedness (over €380 million)
  • Health promotion & disease prevention (over €70 million)
  • Cancer, cardiovascular and other non-communicable diseases (over €60 million)
  • Health systems & healthcare workforce (over €71 million)
  • Digital (over €39 million)

Two thirds of the 2025 budget is dedicated to crisis preparedness, and call topics under this strand focus on developing innovative medical countermeasures for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats and development of new diagnostic tests.

EU4Health also remains key to Europe’s Beating Cancer plan, and this year’s Work Programme is emphasising the implementation of new cancer screening programmes. EU4Health also reflects the European Union’s goal to advance AI technologies in health, as demonstrated by a sizeable budget to drive AI in both clinical practice and biotech.

Calls for proposals under the EU4Health 2025 work Programme have recently closed, while calls for tenders remain open, with further calls expected to launch throughout the year.

The EU4Health 2026 Work Programme is due to be published later this year, after which new calls for both proposals and tenders will be launched.
