The EU Framework Programme Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is the EU’s ninth Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, running from 2021 to 2027. The programme’s goals include contributing to a healthy, fair, and sustainable society.
Horizon Europe has three main pillars:
- Excellence in Science,
- Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness,
- Innovative Europe.
The Public Health Agency of Sweden primarily participates in health-related projects under Pillar 2, Cluster 1: Health.
The Public Health Agency of Sweden’s current projects under Horizon Europe:
The project Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Vaccine and Immunotherapy (CCHFVACIM) is focused on developing effective vaccines and therapeutic antibodies against Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV).
The aim is to create protective immunological tools that can prevent and treat infections in both humans and animals. In addition, the project contributes to the further development of diagnostic methods. Together, these efforts strengthen both prevention and preparedness for future epidemics.
The project ends in December 2027.

The European Viral Outbreak Response Alliance (EVORA) project is a key European initiative to strengthen preparedness for future pandemics. It brings together expertise and resources to tackle emerging viral threats through coordinated research, streamlined governance, and improved access to preclinical services.
EVORA aims to create a sustainable alliance that offers tailored tools and integrated support for studying viruses with epidemic or pandemic potential.
The project ends in December 2026.
