The ProEmpower procurers are looking for a diabetes management solution that will tackle unmet needs in the current treatment of diabetes, such as:

• The fragmentation in today’s healthcare systems;
• The overreliance on and the ineffectiveness of pharmacotherapy;
• The late detection of the disease and;
• The frequency of severe complications.

The procurers aim to make diabetes care person-centred, guided by a personalised decision support system. This will make it easier to set adequate treatment goals weighing in multiple factors.

Deadline:  21 March 2018,12pm (CET),

Scope:

Proposals should develop population-oriented primary prevention interventions to promote mental well-being of young people and assess them for their effectiveness. The interventions should build on but may go beyond existing state-of-the art knowledge on biological, psychological and social determinants of mental well-being such as societal, cultural, work life, lifestyle, epidemiological, economic and environmental perspectives. The proposals should aim at increasing resilience and mitigating the impact of biological, psychosocial and environmental risk factors. The target group should include young up to 25 years (or a subgroup there of), which is an age limit often used as many severe disorders start in this period. Differentials related to migration should be addressed when appropriate.

Deadline: 04/10/2016

The Challenge Prize The AAL Programme is launching its first Challenge Prize to source innovations in internet connected devices and technologies (Internet of Things) that empower older adults to achieve the quality of life they aspire to, socially and independently. The innovation should present a business opportunity which improves connectivity between older adults, devices and technologies related to any aspect of their life (e.g., home, social, work, study, transport or services). Innovations must involve older adults in the development and testing of the technology. 

Deadline: 13 May 2016 at 12.00 noon Central European Time.

 Call 2020 is characterised by the following approach:

1. The AAL Call 2020 is open to developing ICT-based solutions targeting any application area(s) within the AAL domain. The solutions need to be embedded in the strategies of the participating end-user organisations, service providers and business partners.
2. The AAL Call 2020 allows for more flexibility regarding the scope, size and duration of the proposed projects (including small collaborative projects).

The AAL domains include solutions for Active Living, such as in work & training, for vitality & abilities, in leisure & culture, for information & communication, as well as for Assisted Living, such as in health & care, living & building, mobility & transport, safety & security.

The Draft 2018 CEF Telecom Work Programme outlines the general objectives, priorities and expected impacts of the actions that will be supported in the field of Digital Service Infrastructures.The eHealth services which will receive funding from CEF are:

• The ePrescription and eDispensation service
• The Patient Summary service
• The European Reference Networks (ERN)

The overall objective of this Call is to facilitate scientific cooperation in the EU through the development and implementation of innovative joint projects, allowing for development of best practices and exchange of expertise in the fields of EFSA’s remit.

The specific objective of this thematic grant is to pilot the joint application of aerobiology, molecular diagnostic and/or remote sensing techniques for monitoring the occurrence and spread of airborne fungal plant pathogens within the EU. In this context, the consortium shall:

1) develop methodologies combining aerobiology, molecular diagnostic and/or remote sensing techniques to support risk based plant health surveillance of quarantine fungal plant pathogens in the EU. 

2) validate the developed methodologies by performing a minimum of two case studies, of which at least one shall be on a quarantine plant pathogen, demonstrating its use to support risk based plant health surveillance of quarantine fungal plant pathogens in the EU; uncertainties, limitations and data gaps should be described and discussed.

3) develop strategies how the developed methodology can be transferred to other pathogens and other users.

Deadline: 25/010/2017
