ERA Fellowships is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: This action builds on the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 action (HORIZON-MSCA-PF-2026). The target group are host organisations located in Widening countries. Project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes : For supported ERA Fellows: Increased set of research and transferable skills and competences, leading to improved employability and career prospects of fellows within academia and beyond; New mind-sets and approaches to R&I work forged through international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary experience; Enhanced networking and communication capacities with scientific peers, as well as with the general public, that will increase and broaden the research and innovation impact; For participating organisations in the Widening countries: Increased alignment of working conditions for researchers in accordance with the principles set out in the European Charter for Researchers [1] ; Enhanced quality and sustainability of research training and supervision; Increased global attractiveness, visibility and reputation; Stronger R&I capacity and output; better transfer of knowledge. For Widening countries: More postdoctoral researchers attracted to Widening countries with competitive grants and attractive working and employment conditions. Scope: Fellowships should be provided to excellent researchers, undertaking cross-border mobility. Applications must be made jointly by the researcher together with a legal entity in the academic or non-academic sector located in a Widening country. ERA Fellowships should take place in a Widening country. Fellowships are open to researchers of any nationality who wish to engage in R&I projects by either coming to the EU from any country in the world or moving within the EU to a Widening country. Secondments Researchers receiving an ERA Fellowship may opt to include a secondment phase, within the overall duration of their fellowship in any country worldwide. The secondment phase can be a single period or be divided into shorter mobility periods. Secondments cannot exceed one third of the standard fellowship duration and should be in line with the project objectives, adding significant value and impact to the fellowship. Placements in the non-academic sector ERA Fellowships can provide an additional period of up to six months to support researchers opting for a placement at the end of the project to work on R&I projects in an organisation from the non-academic sector established in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country. While this possibility is also available to fellows recruited in the non-academic sector, such a placement should be implemented at a different non-academic host organisation established in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country. The request for such a non-academic placement should be an integral part of the proposal, explaining the added value for the project and for the career development of the researcher, and will be subject to evaluation. This incentive aims at promoting career moves between sectors and organisations and thereby stimulate innovation and knowledge transfer while expanding career opportunities for researchers. Training activities The training activities implemented under the ERA Fellowships should include training for key transferable skills [2] , foster innovation and entrepreneurship, (e.g. commercialisation of results, Intellectual Property Rights, communication, public engagement and citizen science), foster good scientific conduct such as research integrity and promote Open Science practices (open access to publications and to other research outputs, including data, FAIR data management, societal engagement and citizen science, etc.). Career Development Plan In order to equip ERA Fellows with skills that enhance and expand their career opportunities inside and outside academia, a Career Development Plan should be established jointly by the supervisor(s) and the rese

Microelectronic – Front-End Module (FEM) is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: The targeted outcomes reflect the above challenges and cover a comprehensive Front End module design which: Covers the FR3 range as defined by the relevant Agenda Item of WRC 27 (7 to 15 GHz range) with possible extension up to 24 GHz if required by some regional implementations, with inherent tuning capabilities to accommodate potential regional variations. Mitigates interferences with incumbent FR3 band users and maximises sharing capabilities across the band in line with the European regulatory approach on spectrum sharing. Enables integration of a large number of antenna elements beyond the State of the Art and support massive MIMO implementation with compensation of increased path loss compared to 5G FR1 implementations. Enables at least an order-of-magnitude increase in RF processing compared to 5G FR1 implementations. Enables 5G cell site reuse and minimises deployment complexity on top of 5G sites deployment. Enables low-cost and low energy implementation of the elementary constituent modules, efficient packaging and is mainly based on the integration of microelectronics heterogeneous technologies where European industry has strong expertise and know-how. Addresses new 6G requirements for greater uplink capacity as required by new classes of traffic/use cases. Enables concurrent and efficient implementation of Sub Band Full Duplex (SBFD) and Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), whilst minimising the waveform differences between the communication and the sensing function, with maximisation of common functional blocks as appropriate. Addresses ITU requirements for IMT 2030 especially for what concerns increased carrier rate, user rate and latency. Enables support of both cellular (FR1-like) and FWA (FR2-like) use case scenarios. It is based on a strong and lasting cooperation between European lead suppliers of telecom systems and technologies and lead suppliers of European microelectronics systems and technologies, in view of stimulating a telecom components ecosystem in Europe and to clearly increase European sovereignty in the domain. Is supported by advanced higher TRL design tools, e.g. EDA, PDK. Establishes a clear pathway towards downstream industrialisation in Europe and use of the relevant pilot lines from the Chips JU as a function of the eventual technology selection for implementation (to be covered in the Chips JU call) Contribute to the Apply AI Strategy policy of the Union Objective: Please refer to the "Specific Challenges and Objectives" section for Stream B-02 in the Work Programme, available under ‘Topic Conditions and Documents - Additional Documents’. Scope: The scope of this topic focuses on the following areas: A FEM design that covers the FR3 frequency range, also taking into account the upper part of the 6Ghz band, potentially usable for Mobile Services (6.425- 7.125 GHz). This does not preclude addressing higher sub-bands of the FR3 spectrum to cater for regional regulatory variations and to include ISAC capabilities. The design includes the characterisation and specification of the FEM constituent elements, such as the power amplifiers, LNB, filters, multiplexers/multipliers, ADC and DAC stages, beamformers, and antenna arrays. It also covers the specification of the digital functionalities to be implemented in the FEM, such as DPD, beam steering, channel selection and adaptation as typical examples. This detailed specification part is expected to be subject to tight links with the project selected under the Chips JU Work Programme 2026, as the two projects should complement each other. The design of a complete FEM, including a Digital Front End, a Radio Front End, antenna elements with the needed conversion stages and capable of handling at least 200 MHz channels and compatible with 400 MHz channels. It enables high-throughput/capacity fronthaul with performance capabilities close to those defined by the ITU 2030 Framework (ITU-R Recommendation M.2160-0) for peak data Programme areas: Digital, Industry and Space, Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, Key Digital Technologies, Horizon Europe (HORIZON) Keywords: Communication engineering and systems telecommunications, 6G, smart networks and services, sns
Boosting mental health of young cancer survivors through the European Cancer Patient Digital Centre (ECPDC) is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Proposals under this topic should aim to deliver results that are directed and tailored towards and contribute to the following expected outcomes: Through the European Cancer Patient Digital Centre (ECPDC), adolescent and young cancer patients and survivors as well as their caregivers have access to innovative tools and approaches to strengthen their mental health; Healthcare professionals have access to innovative tools to monitor and support the mental health of cancer patients and survivors as well as their caregivers Researchers and healthcare professionals have access and use reliable patient reported data to better understand the mental health needs of cancer patients and survivors and provide effective care. Scope: As part of its citizens engagement activities, the EU Cancer Mission has launched a dialogue with young cancer survivors, to better understand the specific needs and challenges faced during and after treatment. Mental health has been systematically highlighted as a major concern, stressing the importance of access to quality psychosocial support including through virtual, digital means along the different stages of the patient’s journey, at diagnosis, during and after treatment. The communication on a Comprehensive approach to mental health adopted by the European Commission on 7 June 2023 [1] calls for the establishment of a platform to boost mental health of young cancer survivors. In line with this ambition, the overall goal of this topic is to develop an online platform targeting, adolescents, and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and survivors (age 15-39, age of first diagnosis) to address specifically their mental health needs, throughout their journey, at diagnosis, during and after treatment. In particular: The digital platform should be developed as a module to be fully integrated within the European Cancer Patient Digital Centre whose information portal is currently under development (project EU-CIP [2] ). Clear links with EU-CIP should therefore be established and solutions developed to link the two projects, including operational solutions and sustainability. The platform should include a mix of innovative personalized, evidence-based, and interactive features building on state-of-the-art research to address the mental health needs of AYA patients and survivors [3] . Both cognitive (thinking, reasoning, memory, perceptual etc.), affective (depression, anxiety, etc.), and behaviour change aspects should be considered. The innovative nature of proposed solutions should be clearly demonstrated. Multi-device compatibility (mobile, tablet, web) and multilingual support to reach diverse populations should be included. Specific needs and potential solutions should be discussed and developed in close cooperation with end-users. Similarly, the efficacy of the proposed solutions to support and boost mental health of young cancer patients, survivors and their caregivers should be demonstrated by testing and validating them by an appropriate number of end users, with different cancer types and belonging to the targeted age group. Develop, test and integrate in the platform innovative tools for collection and analysis of mental health relevant Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) and Patient Reported Experiences Measures (PREMs). Effective mining of lived experience data should be enabled to support for example psychometric development and validation, risk modelling, and the co-creation of personalized psychological measures of mental health. Therefore tools should be developed and validated in close cooperation with end-users including patients, survivors, healthcare professionals and researchers. Develop European Health Data Space (EHDS) aligned guidelines to report and deposit relevant patient reported data collected with the above tools. Projects should include an appropriate mix of stakeholders from various disciplines and sectors, including but not limited to physicians, psycholog Programme areas: Horizon Europe (HORIZON), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, Health Keywords: Man-machine-interfaces, Mental health, Patient care, Quality-of-life, Artificial Intelligence, Psychosocial support, Young Cancer Survivors
Earlier and more precise palliative care is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Proposals under this topic should aim to deliver results that are directed and tailored towards and contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Patients will benefit from better access to earlier, more person-centred palliative care models including digital remote tools and options for home-based care. Carers will benefit from real-time information tools and better communication. Clinicians will benefit from guidelines on optimal patient referral and care predictions. Scope: This topic will contribute to the achievement of the EU Cancer Mission’s objective to provide better quality of life for cancer patients, their families and carers. The focus is on the development of innovative models for earlier, more precise and better integrated palliative care. According to an EU conference on innovative palliative care for people with cancer on 8 October 2024 [1] , palliative care has big potential but such interventions come much too late and are often imprecise. Palliative care is needed very early after cancer diagnosis with the best possible information on patient wishes and effective communication between all involved carers. Barriers also include the insufficient workforce allocation, insufficient retention and resilience of staff, incorrect transferals between care facilities, regional inequities and higher needs for home-based care. In order to improve the access to palliative care, innovative models for earlier, more precise and more patient-centred care should be developed. These models should be built on patients’ needs and the consideration of all possible care options. They should use AI and digital remote tools to empower clinicians, and to deliver well-integrated care with optimal care predictions. Proposals should address most of the following: Develop innovative models for earlier, more precise/personalised and integrated palliative care, including digital remote tools, to predict patients’ care preferences, to assign clear roles of carers and to avoid obstacles such as insufficient or inequal access. Testing and validation of these models in real-world settings through implementation research and clinical trials. Age, sex and gender differences should be duly considered. Attention should be given to address staff training, roles and adherence of conditions. Usage of AI and digital remote tools (such as explanatory videos, messaging, etc.) to allow real-time communication and to predict care needs and resources. Adoption of guidelines for optimal referrals, efficient and sustainable workforce allocation and retention (access to & dissemination of the guidelines should be provided through the future European Cancer Patient Digital Centre). Collaboration with EU4Health projects to create synergies and to facilitate implementation. Successful proposals will be asked to join the 'Quality of Life' project cluster of the EU Cancer Mission [2] . and should include a budget for networking, attendance at meetings and joint activities [3] . The Commission will facilitate coordination of these activities. Applicants should provide details of the clinical studies in the dedicated annex using the template provided in the submission system. [1] RESEARCH AND INNOVATION - Innovative Palliative Care for People with Cancer Conference [2] In order to address the objectives of the EU Cancer Mission, participants will collaborate in project clusters to leverage EU-funding, increase networking across sectors and disciplines, and establish a portfolio of Cancer Mission R&I and policy actions [3] examples of these activities are research or research capacity, organising joint workshops, establishing best practices, joint communication or citizen engagement activities with projects funded under other clusters and pillars of Horizon Europe, or other EU programmes, as appropriate. Proposals are not required to include details of these activities, as they will be defined during the grant agreement preparation Programme areas: Horizon Europe (HORIZON), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, Health Keywords: Oncology, Public health, Quality-of-life, Cancer, End of Life, Palliative Care
