Rethinking long-term care policy in the face of EU demographic shifts
Overview
This Horizon Europe call, identified as HORIZON-CL2-2026-01-TRANSFO-09, focuses on "Rethinking long-term care policy in the face of EU demographic shifts." It is part of the Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society 2026 call and involves HORIZON-RIA actions, relying on a HORIZON Lump Sum Grant format. The call will open for submissions on May 12, 2026, with a submission deadline of September 23, 2026.
The funding total for this topic is €15,000,000, with an expectation of awarding four grants, each amounting to €3,750,000. This initiative aims to tackle challenges stemming from an aging EU population, which is causing an increase in long-term care needs. The call invites consortia of research organizations to carry out evidence-based projects that directly inform policymaking at both EU and Member State levels.
Key objectives include evaluating existing long-term care policies for effectiveness and resilience, developing methodologies to project future care needs until 2070 for at least 15 EU Member States, and proposing innovative solutions to address rising care needs while managing resources efficiently. The opportunity encourages a focus on using data from European Research Infrastructures, incorporates gender-sensitive and intersectional analysis, and promotes the use of digital solutions and social innovations.
Eligible applicants include research-performing organizations such as universities, research institutes, government organizations, and non-profit centers from EU member states and associated countries. The application process is a single-stage open call, requiring a complete proposal submission along with a detailed budget table.
The financial contribution is provided as a lump sum grant, eliminating the need for co-funding, which streamlines financial management for beneficiaries. While specific success rates are not detailed, based on the structure of available funding and expected grants, it's anticipated that the competition will be defined and potentially available slots will reflect typical funding success rates in Horizon Europe projects focused on policy analysis.
Overall, this call seeks to provide the necessary scientific evidence and innovative approaches to ensure long-term care systems in Europe are sustainable, accessible, and of high quality as demographic challenges evolve.

Detail
This is a Horizon Europe call, specifically HORIZON-CL2-2026-01-TRANSFO-09, titled "Rethinking long-term care policy in the face of EU demographic shifts." It falls under the Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society 2026 call (HORIZON-CL2-2026-01). The action type is HORIZON-RIA (Research and Innovation Actions), utilizing a HORIZON Lump Sum Grant [HORIZON-AG-LS] Model Grant Agreement.
The call adopts a single-stage deadline model. The planned opening date is 12 May 2026, and the deadline for submission is 23 September 2026, at 17:00:00 Brussels time.
The project's expected outcomes include:
1. Evaluating the effectiveness and resilience of existing long-term care (LTC) policies at national and regional levels.
2. Providing policymakers with scientific knowledge and data for evidence-informed policies that address the rising demand for affordable, accessible, and high-quality long-term care, focusing on efficient resource use (human, financial, and technological).
3. Proposing new policy solutions to address rising long-term care needs and ensure smooth (in)formal care transitions, considering active and healthy ageing policies and integrated care service provision at the local level.
The scope of the call is as follows:
The EU's population is aging, leading to a projected increase in long-term care needs. Member States are already struggling with workforce shortages, which are expected to worsen. Scientific evidence is needed to address the increasing demand for long-term care within the constraints of shrinking labor resources and budget pressures.
In line with the European Care Strategy and complementing the European Partnership on Transforming Health and Care Systems, proposals should:
1. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing national/regional long-term care policies in meeting current needs, considering the availability of skilled workers, affordability, accessibility, and quality of formal long-term care. This includes evaluating the role of integrated care and the interplay between long-term care and other social services.
2. Develop robust methodologies to model projections until 2070 for long-term care needs and supply, including workforce, service types, and public funding needs, for at least 15 EU Member States.
3. Quantify the cost of non-action in terms of the impact on unmet LTC needs, health and well-being outcomes, and missed economic opportunities.
4. Identify and analyze innovative policy mixes, including those based on social innovation, to address long-term care needs and supply challenges, using available and/or new public/private resources. This includes exploring the potential of digitalization and new technologies.
Aspects for consideration may include:
Addressing workforce and skills shortages by increasing the attractiveness of the long-term care sector through improved working conditions and social protection.
The deployment of digital solutions, including AI-based technologies.
Investigating the cost-effectiveness of public budgets for health and social care and the role of private funding.
Applicants are encouraged to consider data from European Research Infrastructures in the social sciences and LTC policy analysis developed by the European Commission. Proposals should leverage data and services available through European Research Infrastructures federated under the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and relevant Data Spaces. Data produced should be FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable).
Applicants should check the Transforming Health and Care Systems partnership to avoid duplication of efforts. Proposals should consider involving the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC). A gender-sensitive and intersectional approach is required. Cooperation with other Horizon Europe projects is encouraged.
General conditions include:

2. Eligible Countries: As described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes. Some non-EU/non-Associated Countries have specific provisions for funding.
