The scope of the 2022 Joint Call is based on the ICT-AGRI-FOOD vision, which explicitly sets out to bring together actors from across the entire food system (from conventional and organic supply chains) in a multi-actor approach. The challenge is to develop systems that are efficient, effective, equitable, trustable and transparent while enhancing sustainability of these.

The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP3) exists to accelerate the clinical development of new or improved health technologies for the identification, treatment and prevention of poverty-related and neglected infectious diseases, including (re-)emerging diseases. In addition, the EDCTP funds activities for research capacity building in Africa, supporting researchers’ careers and strengthening national health research systems. Opened topics: - Promoting implementation of research results into policy and practice - RIA;  - Genomic epidemiology for surveillance and control of poverty-related and emerging/re-emerging infections in sub-Saharan Africa - RIA; - Implementing adaptive platform trials - RIA; - Creating a sustainable clinical trial network for infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa - CSA; - Strengthening regulatory capacity for supporting conduct of clinical trials - CSA;

The objectives of this call are to: - support projects demonstrating highly innovative technologies, processes, business models or products/services, that are sufficiently mature and have a significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; - offer financial support tailored to market needs and risk profiles of eligible projects, while attracting additional public and private resources.

The goal is to facilitate the establishment of a culture and creativity driven European innovation ecosystem, with the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) at its heart. Such a system should contribute decisively to Europe’s future prosperity, wellbeing, social and cultural cohesion as well as environmental sustainability.

The project should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Development of strategic and integrated policies at European and international level, with a focus on policies and interventions geared towards just green transitions. Formulation of recommendations and action plans for strengthening social and labour impact assessments and intervention quality standards, while taking into account the social and legal feasibility and costs of policies geared towards the green transition. Provision of evidence and assessment of the social acceptability and feasibility and the distribution of costs and benefits of different policy instruments geared towards just green transitions. Support to the exchange, dissemination and uptake of best practices.

Proposals for topics under this Destination should set out a credible pathway to contributing to the following expected impacts of the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan: Democratic governance is reinvigorated by improving the accountability, transparency, effectiveness and trustworthiness of rule-of-law based institutions and policies and through the expansion of active and inclusive citizenship empowered by the safeguarding of fundamental rights.

The call covers the following 6 topics : - User driven applications and tools for regional and local authorities, and other end users focusing on climate impacts, data and knowledge. - Unlocking of financial resources for investments into climate resilience - Testing and demonstrating transformative solutions on climate resilience, mainstreaming nature based solutions in the systemic transformation - Best practices on and piloting insurance solutions for climate adaptation in EU regions and communities - Boost the sponge function of landscape as a way to improve climate-resilience to water management challenges - Transformation of regional economic systems for climate resilience and sustainability

The objective of PFs is to support researchers’ careers and foster excellence in research. The Postdoctoral Fellowships action targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers. PFs help researchers gain experience in other countries, disciplines and non-academic sectors.

The call covers the following 8 topics : - Innovative renewable energy carrier production for heating from renewable energies - Digital solutions for defining synergies in international renewable energy value chains - Renewable energy carriers from variable renewable electricity surplus and carbon emissions fromenergy consuming sectors - AU-EU Energy System Modelling - Direct renewable energy integration into process energy demands of the chemical industry - Technological interfaces between solar fuel technologies and other renewables - Renewable energy incorporation in agriculture and forestry - Demonstration of complete value chains for advanced biofuel and non-biological renewable fuelproduction

Proposals under this Action should contribute to the following expected impacts: - Strengthen Europe's human capital base in R&I by training highly-skilled doctoral candidates, - Improve the attractiveness of researchers’ careers notably through better working and employment conditions of doctoral candidates in Europe - Enhance talent and knowledge circulation across the R&I landscape, through inter-sectoral, interdisciplinary and international mobility - Increase Europe's attractiveness as a leading research destination - Enhance the quality of R&I contributing to Europe's sustainable competitiveness - Establish sustainable collaboration between academic and non-academic organisations - Foster the culture of open science, innovation and entrepreneurship

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.
