Call
Summary
Proposals under this Call, will support research and innovation (R&I) to help policy makers and economic operators reduce the burden of infectious animal diseases, thus contributing to a sustainable livestock industry and public health (food safety, zoonoses, anti-microbial resistance).
Detailed Call Description
Vaccines and diagnostics are essential components of the toolbox for preventing and controlling infectious animal diseases and limiting their impact, including the potential reduction of anti microbial usage.
Proposals should address, for terrestrial livestock and relevant wildlife, improvements in vaccine technologies, products, underpinning knowledge and related diagnostics, and look into the feasibility of vaccine production based on existing or novel vaccine platforms. Use of artificial intelligence to decipher target antigens is encouraged.
Point-of-care and multi-pathogen diagnostic tools are particularly helpful for strengthening surveillance and capacity to respond to threats. The choice of infectious agents / diseases should take into account their importance for EU policy and regulation. Participation of industry is highly recommended. International research cooperation with institutions outside the EU is welcome insofar as it brings clear added knowledge, value and expertise to the project and maximises the impact.
