The European Commission’s brand-new Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA) will be launched next year 2022 with a budget of €6 billion until 2027, €1.7 billion of which represents Horizon Europe’s contribution to research into health emergencies.
It will be set up as an internal organisation within the Commission, coordinating the development, production and distribution of drugs, vaccines and medical equipment during health emergencies, and supporting research to develop new medical countermeasures, including EU-wide clinical trial networks and sharing of health data.
