The European Commission adopted today the Work Plan for 2009 for the implementation of the second programme of Community action in the field of health.

As a follow-up to the Plan, the European Agency for Health and Consumers (EAHC) published calls for proposals for projects, operating grants, conferences and joint actions. All proposals should address important problems in the European public health and be in line with the Commission's priorities expressed in Work Plan 2009.

The Calls are a new funding opportunity for European organisations active in the area of public health. The total budget available for the execution of the 2009 Work Plan is about 48.2 million euro.

The deadline for the submission of proposals is 20 May 2009.
