The European Partnership on Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) brings the opportunity to coordinate and optimise research and innovation efforts in Europe and its partner countries supporting the much-needed transformation of health and care systems. 32 funding agencies participate with an indicative budget of €35 million. Projects funded under this call will build on existing evidence to deliver innovative solutions that enable key stakeholders to reduce inequalities in access to and utilisation of health and care services. Projects will address how to improve access to all levels of health and care through financial models, models for delivering health and care services and setting up of interdisciplinary integrated care.
