The Horizon Europe Info Day dedicated to Cluster 1 – Health, scheduled for 10 February 2026, together with the online Brokerage Event taking place from 26 to 30 January, will offer important opportunities for the DORIAN GRAY project and its wider stakeholder community to engage with upcoming EU funding priorities in health research and innovation.

Cluster 1 Health Info Day – 10 February 2026

The Cluster 1 Health Info Day will focus on the health cluster under Pillar II (Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness) of Horizon Europe , which aims to protect and improve the health and well-being of citizens through collaborative research and innovation.

Cluster 1 is structured around six key destinations of the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan:

·         Staying healthy in a rapidly changing society

·         Living and working in a health-promoting environment

·         Tackling diseases and reducing disease burden

·         Ensuring access to innovative, sustainable and high-quality health care

·         Unlocking the full potential of new tools, technologies and digital solutions for a healthy society

·         Maintaining an innovative, sustainable and globally competitive health-related industry

During the Info Day, participants will receive detailed information on the 2026 Health work programme, including policy context, call topics, and guidance on how to prepare competitive proposals in line with these destinations.

Ahead of the event, participants are encouraged to watch pre-recorded presentations that will be made available in advance and to submit questions via SLIDO, allowing them to be addressed in priority during the live sessions.
