The document summarizes the Horizon 2020 (H2020) Work Programme for 2014-2015 related to health, demographic change and wellbeing. It outlines 32 proposed topics within 7 areas of interest, including understanding health, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, active aging, integrated care, and health data. The total budget for personalizing health and care topics is 1.06 billion Euros. An additional 10 coordination activity topics are proposed. The goals are to improve health outcomes, promote healthy aging, and reduce health inequalities through supporting translation of research findings.

why ?
- Ageing of the European population
- increased disease burden (communicable and non-communicable
diseases)
- fall-out from the economic crisis
=> a dangerous combination of factors that threatens
the European health and care systems !

Novelty
- Build on the FP7 programme but with less detailed topics description in order to
allow greater freedom to the applicant community as well as broader participation
and more innovative approaches.
- Many topics will be subjected to a 2-steps evaluation process : first evaluation
step will request only a short summary of the proposal and only those retained will
proceed to the second evaluation step that requests a full proposal
-Exceptions to the 2-stage approach for a number of ‘closer-to-market’ topics
(topics using the SME instrument…)
