The Code provides practical guidance on labelling AI-generated text, images, audio, video and deepfakes, and is accompanied by a set of official EU icons for marking AI-generated content.
The European Commission has encouraged NCPs to inform the applicant community about the updated deadlines for the Horizon Europe Cluster 1 Health calls in 2027. Please note that the current draft available in the Comitology Register does not yet reflect all changes.

The European Commission is closely monitoring the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo strain of the virus, for which no approved vaccine or specific treatment is currently available. While the risk to the general public in Europe remains very low, the EU, WHO, and international partners are coordinating preparedness, surveillance, and response efforts to contain the outbreak and support affected countries.
A new dashboard and accompanying report provide valuable insights into beneficiaries’ experiences with Horizon Europe's legal, financial, and administrative rules. The results offer useful lessons for both applicants and NCPs and may help shape future framework programmes.
