The European Commission is calling on researchers, industry, Member States/Associated Countries and the wider public to help shape the future of European Partnerships in research and innovation.
To support this process, the Commission has launched a public consultation on the future Single Basic Act (SBA) for Joint Undertakings e.g. IHI and EDCTP3 in the area of health, Article 185 initiatives and thematic priorities for the European Partnership portfolio under the next framework programme Horizon Europe 2028-2034. Open to everyone, the consultation aims to collect views and evidence on how Treaty-based partnerships can be strengthened to boost EU competitiveness, mobilise investment and support the full innovation-to-investment journey.
