EP PerMed Twinning Call 2026: Advancing Personalized Medicine Across Europe

Driving a Collaborative Future for Precision Healthcare

The European Partnership for Personalized Medicine (EP PerMed) is at the forefront of transforming healthcare across Europe. With its Twinning Call 2026, the partnership aims to strengthen cross-border collaboration, accelerate the adoption of personalized healthcare models, and support organizations in building capacity for patient-centered innovation.

This grant offers a unique opportunity for healthcare organizations, universities, and digital health innovators to connect expertise, share data, and deliver measurable improvements in clinical outcomes—powered by precision analytics and real-world evidence.

Core Focus Areas

The 2026 Twinning Call supports initiatives that align with EP PerMed’s mission to integrate personalized medicine into healthcare systems. Key funding themes include:

• Capacity Building & Collaboration : Strengthening institutional networks between EU and non-EU organizations working in genomics, precision health, and data-driven medicine.
• Data Infrastructure & Sharing : Developing interoperable data platforms for multi-omics, clinical, and patient-reported data.
• Clinical Implementation : Supporting pilot studies that demonstrate how personalized medicine can improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
• Patient Engagement: Encouraging participatory healthcare models through digital tools and patient communities.

The 2026 call reflects Europe’s growing focus on digital transformation in healthcare, where success depends on how well institutions leverage technology to personalize care—an area where Pillar by SocialRoots.ai brings a strong advantage.
