This Digital Europe Programme topic funds the deployment and clinical validation of advanced multimodal AI solutions in medical imaging for cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment, with a total call budget of approximately 14,400,000 euros. The call opened 4 November 2025 and closed 3 March 2026 at 17:00 Brussels time.
What distinguishes this from the large volume of research-stage AI-for-health funding in the EU is that it is explicitly a deployment instrument: the objective is to accelerate uptake of EU AI-driven imaging solutions, including machine learning and generative AI, into real clinical and research environments rather than to advance the underlying methods.
The action is built around the Cancer Image Europe platform developed under the EUCAIM project, which supplies access to federated medical imaging data and to testing and validation environments, and proposals are expected to build on, extend and leverage that platform rather than construct parallel infrastructure.
That dependency is the single most important scoping constraint and the one most likely to sink an otherwise strong proposal: a consortium proposing a standalone data pipeline is misreading the topic.
This sits in the DIGITAL-2026-AI-09 call alongside a generative-AI-for-public-administration topic sharing the same 3 March 2026 deadline, and is distinct from DIGITAL-2026-AI-PILOTING-10-SCREENING on AI-based image screening in medical centres, which runs on a later 1 October 2026 deadline.
Consortia comparing the two should note that this topic is oncology-specific and platform-anchored, while the screening topic is broader and pilot-oriented.

Eligible participants include hospitals and medical centres, universities, research organisations, companies including SMEs, and public bodies. Digital Europe deployment actions are normally co-funded rather than fully funded, typically at 50 per cent of eligible costs for most participant types, so applicants must secure matching resources. The total call budget for this topic is approximately 14,400,000 euros; a per-project EU contribution is not stated in summary material and must be confirmed against the official call fiche. The topic opened 4 November 2025 and closed 3 March 2026 at 17:00 Brussels time. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the EU Funding and Tenders Portal; paper submissions are not accepted. Proposals are expected to build on, extend and leverage the Cancer Image Europe platform developed under the EUCAIM project. Applicants should verify funding rate, consortium requirements, expected outcomes and exact budget directly against the DIGITAL-2026-AI-09 call fiche and the Digital Europe work programme before preparing a submission. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows the total call budget for this topic is approximately 14,400,000 euros, roughly 16,850,000 US dollars at 1.17 dollars to the euro. The Commission does not publish a per-project EU contribution for this topic in the summary call material, so amount_min and amount_max reflect the total topic budget rather than a single award; comparable Digital Europe deployment topics typically fund between two and five projects, which would put a realistic single award in the three to seven million euro range. Confirm the figure against the call fiche before budgeting. The more consequential number is the funding rate: unlike Horizon Europe research actions which commonly reimburse 100 per cent of eligible costs, Digital Europe deployment actions typically co-fund at 50 per cent for most participants, so a consortium must bring roughly matching resources of its own. Teams that budget this topic as though it were a Horizon Europe grant systematically overstate what the EU contribution will cover. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.
The published deadline was March 3, 2026, which has passed. Check the official notice for any future application windows before investing time in a proposal.

The NOURISH Autoimmunity Digital Health Challenge runs three phases to August 2028: 10 winners at $20,000, then 5 at $30,000, then 3 at $100,000. It is a prize competition, not a grant — no indirect costs, no cost reimbursement, and a rule that quietly disqualifies the obvious applicant.
