European Partnership for research in radiation protection and detection of ionising radiation
Nuclear research and training · EURATOM-COFUND · Needs partners
What this call funds
This call continues an existing EU-wide partnership on radiation protection research, funding coordinated national research programmes to better understand and manage risks from ionising radiation exposure in medicine, work, and the environment. It supports joint calls, training, research infrastructure access, and public engagement on radiation safety. The money extends an existing grant agreement rather than launching a brand-new consortium.

Legal and financial set-up of the grants This action is intended to be implemented in the form of an amendment of the grant agreement concluded pursuant to HORIZON-EURATOM-2021-NRT-01-09. For the additional activities covered by this action: The funding rate is 65 % of the eligible costs as this funding rate reflects the high impact of radiation research for the health policies and the need to involve a wider research community. Beneficiaries may provide financial support to third parties. The support to third parties can only be provided in the form of grants. The maximum amount to be granted to each third party is EUR 500 000 for actions justifying the establishment of a Ph.D. or post doc contract. It is EUR 100 000 in other cases of activities for the implementation of the roadmap for research in radiation protection. These maximum amounts are justified for the Partnership to achieve one of its primary objectives, which is the organisation of open calls to ensure wide participation of the radiation protection research community, resulting in significant costs for the third parties. When implementing financial support to third parties in Co-funded Partnerships, the beneficiaries must avoid any conflict of interest or unequal treatment of applicants[[ Notably through appropriate communication/exchange of information channels and independent and fair complaints procedures]]. General legal and financial set-up is described in General Annexes to the Euratom Work Programme 2026-2027, General Conditions, G — Legal and financial set-up of the grant agreements.
