Description:

The European Partnership for Brain Health (EP BrainHealth), a collaborative initiative under Horizon Europe, aims to advance research enhancing brain health across the life-course by understanding the mechanisms and impacts of biological, social and environmental factors on neurological, mental and sensory disorders. This Joint Transnational Call (JTC2026) funds multinational, interdisciplinary and translational research consortia that address how these factors influence brain health trajectories across the lifespan and develop innovative strategies for earlier recognition, prevention, intervention, care and support. Projects must integrate at least two of three factor categories (biological, lifestyle/social, environmental) and investigate mechanisms, diagnostics, interventions or outcomes that benefit patients and carers; interdisciplinary and holistic approaches are emphasized
