Healthcare of the future 2026 (THCS)

About This Opportunity

The European partnership Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) has launched its fourth transnational call 'Access to Care'. The aim of this call is to fund research and innovation projects that contribute to ensuring equitable access to and utilisation of health and care services and provide policy and decision makers with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement the reallocation of resources as the health and care system undergoes a transition to meet new and ongoing challenges. Projects funded under this call will build on existing evidence to deliver innovative solutions that enable key stakeholders to reduce inequalities in access to and utilisation of health and care services. Projects will address how to improve access to all levels of health and care through financial models, models for delivering health and care services and setting up of interdisciplinary integrated care programmes. The call is administered by THCS with Forte supporting Swedish participation with approximately 15 million SEK. 32 funding agencies participate in this transnational collaborative call.
