Objectiu de la convocatòria
The EIC Pathfinder Challenges supports high-risk exploratory research to develop radically new technologies (TRL 1–4) within specific thematic areas, each with its own defined goals. The "Biotechnology for Healthy Ageing" challenge aims to translate decades of ageing research into tangible biopharmaceutical solutions for healthy ageing.
Característiques principals
Applicants will be expected to develop a proof of concept in one of the following three areas:
  • An innovative preventative or therapeutic biotechnology-based or pharmaceutical intervention that prevents, delays or reverts the onset of a specific age-related disease.
  • A biomarker based tool to enable the responsible deployment of ageing-related Interventions
  • A New Approach Methodology (NAM) that goes beyond the current state-of the art to enable the future development of interventions for healthy ageing.
    All proposals should consider biological sex and gender-specific health determinants in their development, with reproductive ageing also in scope.
