Our Goals
ERA4Health Partnership: Fostering a European Research Area for Health Research.
This Partnership brings the opportunity to increase European transnational collaborative research funding by creating a funding body for joint programming in priority areas addressing European public health needs.
Built on a well-established cooperation, ERA4Health brings together 37 entities from 24 countries. Consortium partners are a mix of ministries,national and regional funding agencies, not-for-profit intergovernmentalorganisation, research institutes and foundations. A number of the currentconsortium partners have been involved in previous ERA-NETs (e.g.EuroNanoMedIII, CVD, ERA-HDHL, HDHL-INTIMIC, ERA PerMed, etc.).
Through cross-national joint calls for proposals, other cross-cutting activities and an optimal use of and making the most of interregional and international cooperation, ERA4Health aims to provide influential contributions as well as a sustainable model of funding for ground-breaking translational research in the health domain across Europe and beyond.
ERA4Health focuses on tackling diseases and reducing disease burden by addressing the following challenges:
- The increasing demand for a better quality of life and a better patient care.
- The need to transform public health care systems into more effective, efficient, equitable, accessible, and resilient ones.
- The need to strengthen disease prevention and health promotion.
