BEAt-DKD Biomarker Enterprise to Attack DKD - Sofia ref.: 115974

Coordinator: LUNDS UNIVERSITET (SE)

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD), and its global incidence and prevalence have reached epidemic dimensions in recent years. Unfortunately, there are no effective means to prevent or cure DKD, the few existing treatments have limited effect and very few alternative therapies have emerged in the past years.

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.

EU contribution: €15.1M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 7 years from 2016-09-01 to 2023-08-31.
