Project proposals submitted under this call must focus on the analysis, interpretation and application of different biological and clinical data by appropriate computational models. Projects have to demonstrate the practical relevance of computational models for medical routine and their benefit for individual patients. As an example, the knowledge gained may help to enable drug repurposing across different diseases. Joint research proposals may be submitted by higher education institutions, non-university public research establishments, hospitals as well as commercial companies, in particular small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs), according to relevant national funding regulations. Organizations of the following countries are eligible to submit a proposal: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia and Spain. Organizations from other countries might also participate in projects if their financial resources are secured, but won’t receive funding.
