Horizon Europe – European Commission

CARE-IN-HEALTH project is funded by the European Union.
Horizon Europe is the European Union’s framework programme for research and innovation for 2021–2027. It aims to strengthen scientific excellence, drive innovation, and address societal challenges by supporting collaborative projects across Europe and beyond. By funding scientific research and innovative initiatives, Horizon Europe helps create tangible impact for society and the economy, while fostering cooperation among researchers, institutions, and industries.

Founded in 1964, Inserm is a public scientific and technological institute which operates under the joint authority of the French Ministries of Health and Research. The institute is dedicated to biomedical research and human health, and is involved in the entire range of activities from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside. It also partners with the most prestigious research institutions in the world that are committed to scientific challenges and progress in these fields.

The University of Lorraine, located in the Lorraine region of northeastern France, is a major public research university formed in 2012 through the merger of several historic institutions, some of which date back to the 18th century. It brings together over 50,000 students, faculty, and researchers across multiple campuses, including Nancy, Metz, and Epinal. The university is renowned for its excellence in education, interdisciplinary research, and international collaboration, covering a wide range of scientific, technological, and humanities disciplines. Its research initiatives contribute significantly to scientific advancement, innovation, and societal development.

The Métropole du Grand Nancy is an intercommunal structure in northeastern France, centered around the city of Nancy. It brings together 20 municipalities to coordinate urban planning, economic development, research, and innovation initiatives. Committed to fostering sustainable growth and supporting scientific and cultural projects, the Grand Nancy metropolitan area provides a dynamic environment for collaboration between universities, research institutions, businesses, and the local community.

A Broad and Diverse Scientific Sector
The Biology, Medicine, and Health (BMS) Pole covers an exceptionally broad and diverse scientific field, comprising research units of varying disciplines and sizes. Its themes range from public health to fundamental biology, and from physiology to adaptive imaging. The common thread linking all these areas is, of course, health.
Through its 9 research units, the BMS Pole brings together over 200 researchers and faculty members, including 22 EPST researchers. It also hosts a joint service unit that provides support not only to the BMS research units but also to the wider laboratories of the University of Lorraine, as well as to the academic and industrial communities beyond the university. The Pole features 6 cutting-edge technological platforms, most of which are certified by IBiSA and/or INFRA+ LUE.
