UNITE4TB ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY UNITED INNOVATION AND TREATMENT FOR TUBERCULOSIS

Coordinator: STICHTING RADBOUD UNIVERSITAIR MEDISCH CENTRUM (NL)

Current anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug regimens face serious limitations at times of increasing antimicrobial drug resistance. Fortunately, for the first time for centuries, several novel anti-TB compounds are available for clinical evaluation. As the traditional approach to testing these in multiple combination regimens is too slow and inefficient new approaches of clinical phase 2 study designs are required if we are to meet the targets of the WHO EndTB strategy to save the lives of millions into the near future. Our consortium brings together a unique group of European and international leade…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €92.5M toward a total project budget of €185.0M — a funding rate of 50%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 7 years from 2021-06-01 to 2028-05-31.
