In the completed Horizon Europe call HORIZON-HLTH-2023-DISEASE-07-01 European Partnership on Rare Disease, ERDERA – European Rare Diseases Research Alliance was selected as the European partnership on rare diseases for the period of 2024-2031. During the partnership formation process and the call application preparation, IHG PAS together with 170 organisations from across Europe became part of a consortium of partner organizations.
The European Commission positively evaluated the application from EDERERA – European Rare Diseases Research Alliance and qualified it for financing.
It is worth highlighting IHG PAS is the only research institution from Poland that has become a partner in the ERDERA partnership.
Being a member of ERDERA will allow IHG PAS to help shape the thematic scope of future calls announced, and in addition to that, IHG PAS will also benefit from a training programme planned as part of the ERDERA.
Once the programme implementation starts, ERDERA will be announcing calls for research projects. Grants awarded as a result of these calls will be co-funded by national agencies associated in the partnership (in Poland it will be National Centre for Research and Development – NCBR).
The ERDERA consortium coordinator is the Thematic Institute of Genetics, Genomics & Bioinformatics, INSERM from France.
