Up Coming Events
IHI Kick-off and Brokerage Event
With IHI’s first calls for proposals scheduled for launch in late June, now is the perfect time to start thinking about building or joining a strong consortium. A one-day event, held in Brussels and online, will provide pertinent information on the IHI call topics and processes and facilitate network building through face-to-face and virtual meetings as well as pitching sessions. Info session: The first part of the morning is a classic info session. It will cover the topics of the first calls, the call conditions and rules for participation, and opportunities for SMEs. The session includes time for questions. Networking: To submit a proposal for an IHI call, you need to be part of a consortium. That’s why the
second half of the morning and the afternoon are dedicated to networking via one-on-one brokerage meetings and pitching sessions. The coffee and lunch breaks also represent good opportunities for more informal networking. Participation in the event is free of charge! However, registration and profile activation are mandatory to attend the
brokerage event. Information on how to register, create your profile and set up brokerage meetings can all be found on the event webpage. IHI warmly encourages small and medium-sized enterprises, patient organisations, regulatory authorities, academic teams, industry, hospitals and other
organisations with an interest in IHI projects to take part in the brokerage event.
