ERDERA Joint Transnational Call 2025 Webinars
Two informative webinars were held in the context of the Joint Transnational Call (JTC) 2025, and their recordings can be accessed via the following survey link: Click here.
The recordings will be made available upon completion of the brief survey.
The webinars cover the following:
- Webinar 1 – December 17: This session provided general information about the call, including its scientific goals, administrative requirements, available support services, and strategies for patient engagement. Two dedicated Q&A sessions addressed a range of participants’ questions.
- Webinar 2 – January 14: This session offered educational and preparatory guidance for applicants at the pre-proposal stage. It focused on enhancing submission quality through key translational, regulatory, data management, and methodological insights, and also included a live Q&A segment.
Although both webinars were initially designed to support applicants of the JTC 2025, ERDERA believes the content remains highly relevant for those interested in participating in future JTCs.
As a reminder, ERDERA launches one Joint Transnational Call per year, typically preceded by a pre-announcement in the Q4 of the calendar year, with the official call launch in December. Each call focuses on a different scientific topic.
