BE READY Call 2026

The European Partnership for Pandemic Preparedness (BE READY) aims to establish a European research and innovation ecosystem that is optimally prepared for future health crises caused by infectious diseases. This ecosystem will be capable of responding swiftly and efficiently to such crisis and will be fully integrated into the broader European institutional framework for health security. This call will support innovative, collaborative, interdisciplinary and transnational research projects aiming for a better understanding of the pandemic potential of emerging pathogens, elucidating the pathophysiology induced by these pathogens, and developing innovative medical countermeasures. The call targets Danish universities, companies, industry organisations, local/regional governments, research organisations and NGOs. All Danish organisations directly involved in activities in the projects are eligible as applicants to the Innovation Fund Denmark. This is a multinational interdisciplinary research funding opportunity that requires international collaboration within the European Partnership framework.
