In early 2026, the European Partnership for Pandemic Preparedness BE READY will launch its first Joint Transnational Call for Proposals for multinational interdisciplinary research projects.

Infectious diseases can quickly escalate to health crises with global impact, exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and more recent outbreaks of avian influenza (H5N1) and the spread of Mpox. These events have highlighted the close link between environment, human and animal interactions in a One Health context while underscoring the importance of international cooperation in research and development. During these crises, it became evident across Europe that although research efforts were quickly launched, the research landscape was too fragmented.

To realise this vision, the BE READY Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) on Pandemic Preparedness defines the Partnership’s research priorities and scientific objectives. To put the SRIA’s research priorities into practice, BE READY will launch its first Joint Transnational Calls (JTCs).  

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 is anticipated to be launched in January 2026.

Dates are provisional; final dates will be announced when the call is launched.
