Tools and technologies to support health adaptation to climate change
Cluster 1 - Health (Single stage - 2027/1) · HORIZON-PCP · Needs partners
What this call funds
This call funds joint public procurement projects (not direct R&D grants) where groups of public buyers—like hospitals, health authorities and municipalities—team up to pre-commercially procure new technologies that help healthcare systems and communities cope with climate change health risks. Money goes to procurer consortia who then run tenders for developers to build early-stage tools like climate risk surveillance, early-warning systems, and climate-resilient health services. The goal is to speed up development of practical, near-market solutions that public authorities will actually buy and use.
