Consortium meetings : Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking Calls 9 and 10
what
Horizon Europe Partnership - Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI-JU) plans for early 2025 to launch 2 calls for proposals that will pilot a novel, applicant-driven approach:
IHI call 9 – a single-stage, applicant driven call with 5 topics aligned with the five specific objectives set out in the IHI Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA).
While previous calls from the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) focused on specific challenges, the upcoming IHI call 9 will invite applicants to explore untapped opportunities within the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda that could be transformed into public-private projects. Consequently, IHI call 9 will cover a much wider range of topics.
IHI call 10 will be a standard, 2-stage call with 3 topics under consideration.
The detailed draft descriptions of the three topics under consideration for IHI call 10 are already published in advance and include topics on PFAS, the EHDS, and digital labelling.
The draft texts of IHI calls 9 and 10 are now available on the Future opportunities. Draft topics are published now to give applicants additional time to prepare a strong proposal and join or build a winning consortium.
