ISIDORE project: call for proposals
ISIDORe can support your research project by providing you free access to their services. Consult our scientific strategy and apply to one of our calls for proposals below. 1. Vector‑borne diseases: The geographic and host ranges of vector-borne diseases are expanding, mostly due to anthropogenic factors. With rising temperatures and changing weather patterns, the risk of these diseases affecting increasingly large areas of the world will continue to rise, as reflected by the record number cases of dengue (including non-imported ones) and West Nile virus observed in Europe in 2022. The proposal has to be focused on at least one eligible vector-borne pathogen (see below and full full ISIDORe PPP list).
2. Respiratory pathogens: A large number of pathogens target the human respiratory tract, resulting in a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations including life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). While serious respiratory infections are predominantly caused by RNA viruses, other types of pathogens can be involved. The modes of transmission of respiratory pathogens often give them a significant epidemic potential. The proposal has to be focused on at least one eligible respiratory pathogen, excluding SARS-CoV-2 (see below and full full ISIDORe PPP list).

COST OPEN CALL: A SIMPLE ONE-STEP APPLICATION PROCESS
Participants are invited to submit COST Action proposals contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal knowledge advancement and development of Europe. Multi- and interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged.
The Open Call Action proposal submission, evaluation, selection and approval (SESA) procedure is fully science and technology-driven and will ensure a simple, transparent and competitive proposal evaluation and selection process, reflecting the bottom-up, open and inclusive principles of COST. Participants planning to submit a proposal for a COST
Action will need to refer to the SESA guidelines and to the Open Call Announcement available on the Documents and Guidelines page.
Project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
For researchers
Enhanced opportunities to interact with citizens and local, regional and national authorities;
Improved communication skills and competences to interact with a non-research audience, notably with pupils and students.
For organisations
Increased reputation and visibility of participating organisations in terms of hosting excellence research projects towards the general public and possible future students;
Researchers’ work made more tangible, concrete, accessible, and thus opening research and science to all;
Improved outreach to all audiences, and notably those who do not have an easy access to science and research activities;
Better communication of R&I results and activities to society, increased and strengthened opportunities for citizens’ engagement.
IHI Call 4 (HORIZON-JU-IHI-2023-04-02-two-stage) is a two stage call for proposals with the following topics:

HORIZON EUROPE – ERC SYNERGY GRANTS
ERC-2024-SyG : Call for proposals for ERC Synergy Grant.
The aim is to provide support for a small group of two to four Principal Investigators to jointly addressambitious research problems that could not be addressed by the individual Principal Investigators and their teams working alone. Synergy projects should enable substantial advances at the frontiers of knowledge, stemming, for example, from the cross-fertilization of scientific fields, from new productive lines of enquiry, or new methods and techniques, including unconventional approaches and investigations at the interface between established disciplines. The transformative research funded by Synergy Grants should have the potential of becoming a benchmark on a global scale.
MSCA Doctoral Networks will implement doctoral programmes, by partnerships of universities, research institutions and research infrastructures, businesses including SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe and beyond. Type of actions:
