Funder: European Commission
Due Dates: April 13, 2027 (Full application submission deadline)
Funding Amounts: €20,000,000 total; typical grant €4–5 million; up to 4 awards expected
Summary: Funds the development and procurement of innovative tools and technologies to help healthcare systems and communities adapt to health risks from climate change.
Key Information: Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) action; funding is for consortia of public procurers, not direct R&D grants to developers.
This grant from the European Commission supports the development, testing, and procurement of innovative tools, technologies, and solutions to increase the resilience and preparedness of healthcare systems and communities facing climate change. The focus is on fostering collaboration between public sector buyers (such as hospitals, municipalities, and health organizations) and private solution developers to create early-stage climate adaptation solutions. Targeted areas include geospatial decision-support, real-time risk surveillance, early-warning systems, and technologies for climate-resilient healthcare services. Projects should enable comprehensive approaches involving diverse stakeholders and promote solutions that can be upscaled and widely adopted across Europe.
This action operates under the Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) model, meaning consortia of public procurers jointly procure R&D services to address shared needs. Developers, industry, or research organizations do not apply directly for this grant but may later respond to tenders launched by funded consortia.
