Cluster 1 Health

Ireland is a nation of strong women – leaders in our homes, communities, workplaces, and increasingly, in research and innovation. Yet, across Europe and beyond, women’s health remains under-researched and under-represented across many fields. As Horizon Europe enters its next phase, Ireland has both the opportunity and the responsibility to lead change.

Ireland has delivered an excellent performance in the first half of Horizon Europe (2021-2024), securing above €92m in funding from the Horizon Europe Health Cluster, including the Cancer Mission. This represents 2.5% of the total available budget.

The Irish health research community is actively collaborating with European colleagues across a wide range of health research areas.
