Opens 2 March 2027

Improving socio-economic outcomes for persons with dementia and informal caregivers

In short

This is a Research and Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €16 million for about 5 grants of €3.2 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 2 March 2027. Deadline for the first stage: 4 May 2027 (cut-off 2 of a series).

What the call wants to achieve

  • Persons with dementia experience improved social, mental and socio-economic outcomes through the development and implementation of person-centred interventions that enhance autonomy, inclusion, and quality of life.
  • Informal caregivers benefit from reduced emotional, financial, and physical burden thanks to evidence-based support measures, policies, and services that improve their well-being and economic resilience.
  • Support networks, long-term care and healthcare systems provide more integrated and accessible care for people with dementia and their caregivers through strengthened coordination between healthcare providers, long-term care and social services, and community organisations.
  • Researchers (including from SSH disciplines) and policymakers have access to improved, gender-sensitive data on dementia care to inform policies (in particular national strategies and EU aging policy), optimise resource allocation, and enhance the effectiveness of care models.
