THCS Joint Transnational Call: Access to Care

The European Partnership on Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) is launching its 4th Joint Transnational Call for proposals aimed at promoting equitable access to and utilisation of health and care services across Europe. This initiative is co-funded by Horizon Europe and unites 32 funding organisations, including the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and Innosuisse. The call seeks to fund transnational projects that provide policymakers and stakeholders with concrete knowledge and practical tools to reduce inequalities in access to and use of health and care services, develop innovative evidence-based solutions and new service delivery models, and design appropriate financial models and integrated care programmes through an interdisciplinary approach. Projects must engage in one or more of the following types of action: applied research, implementation research, piloting, upscaling and/or testing. All projects must demonstrate proof of concept, validate concepts, models or solutions, and showcase demonstrations in relevant health and care ecosystems. Researchers affiliated with eligible Swiss institutions are invited to apply in collaboration with partners from other European countries on equal terms, with Swiss partners able to receive funding from the SNSF provided they meet eligibility criteria for SNSF Project funding.
