There are also EU funding opportunities outside Horizon Europe. These other programmes are mostly focused not on research per se bur rather provide support for those interested in activities such as training and education, capacity building and policy and advocacy.
This programme supports projects in the areas of awareness raising, environmental training and capacity building, legislative compliance and enforcement, knowledge development and public and stakeholder participation. The programme provides interesting opportunities for environmental endocrinology specialists.

For those who are interested in their further education and training or in building capacity and in exchange of best practices in education and training for your organisation, Erasmus is your point of call. One of key priorities of the programme is digital transformation and the programme will support the development of a high-performing digital education ecosystem. Another priority of Erasmus+ is environment and fight against climate change, therefore the programme will support building of knowledge, skills and attitudes on climate change and sustainable development both within the European Union and beyond

The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides international research funding for researchers to set up their interdisciplinary research networks in Europe and beyond. Through these networks, the so-called COST Actions, COST provides funds for organising meetings, training schools, short term scientific missions or other networking activities in a wide range of scientific topics. COST Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences domain covers all areas of medicine in Europe including fundamental, preclinical and clinical medical research developed to materialise the “bench to bedside” concept.
