Horizon Europe Pillar 2 – Cluster 1 Health

Health is one of the most competitive EU funding areas, supporting breakthrough innovation in disease prevention, diagnostics, personalised medicine, digital health, and resilient healthcare systems. Successful proposals must go beyond scientific excellence and demonstrate a clear, credible pathway to real-world clinical and societal impact.

What sets winning proposals apart is their ability to translate science into practical healthcare solutions. Evaluators focus closely on consortium strength and integration—particularly how effectively clinical, industrial, SME, and research partners work together in a coherent delivery model. They also place strong emphasis on regulatory, ethical, and data governance readiness, as well as measurable and scalable impact across European healthcare systems.

EFMC supports applicants in navigating these expectations by shaping strong proposal narratives, strengthening consortium design, and ensuring full alignment with evaluator criteria. We help translate complex scientific and clinical concepts into clear, structured, and competitive proposals with a strong impact focus and a credible implementation pathway.
