EU4Health 2024 calls, 9 Open funding opportunities

The EU4Health programme of the European Union is a key funding initiative aimed at improving public health across member states. For the 2021-2027 period, the programme initially allocated €5.3 billion. This was later revised to €4.4 billion due to adjustments in the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027. The funding supports a wide range of projects. These include disease prevention, mental health promotion, medical technology safety, and public health research. In this article, we explore the EU4Health 2024 open calls. We will detail the types of projects eligible for funding, the budget allocation, and how organisations can get involved.


What is EU4Health and What Projects Does it Fund?

EU4Health is the EU’s primary funding programme dedicated to improving public health. In 2024, the programme focuses on several key areas:

  1. Artificial Intelligence in Health: Promoting the use of AI to enhance healthcare delivery.
  2. Mental Health: Projects promoting a preventative, integrated approach to mental health.
  3. Cancer: Supporting personalised cancer medicine and establishing networks of expertise in oncology.
  4. Disease Prevention: Funding initiatives to prevent both communicable and non-communicable diseases.

The total budget for EU4Health 2024 is part of the EU’s overall health budget. This budget seeks to foster innovation, sustainability, and health equity across the continent. Successful projects may receive grants of up to €150,000, depending on the specific call.
