<p>Any organisation established in the EU or a country associated to Horizon Europe is eligible to receive IHI funding. In practice, IHI funding primarily supports the participation in its projects of organisations like universities, research organisations, patient organisations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and mid-sized companies. Depending on the type of call for proposals, larger companies may also be eligible to receive IHI funding. Details of who can receive funding is spelt out in the call texts.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-lg-6 d-flex justify-content-center"> <div class="card-highlighted-title-border yellow" data-bootstrap-contains="rows"> <div class="row g-0"> <div class="chtb-header col-12 mb-3"> <div class="chtb-title font-xl">New networks and partnerships</div> </div> <div class="chtb-body col-12 mb-2 ps-2"> <p>IHI projects bring together top teams from industry, academia, SMEs, patient groups and others from different health-related sectors. Experience from IMI shows that very often, the relationships forged within a project turn into long-lasting collaborations that can be beneficial to all involved in the longer term. In fact, participants in IMI projects often cite the networking aspect as one of the biggest benefits of working in a public-private partnership.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-lg-12 py-1"> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="row" data-n1ed-be-quick-action-highlight="block" data-n1ed-block-id="237591"> <div class="col-12 col-lg-6 mb-5 mb-lg-0 d-flex justify-content-center"> <div class="card-highlighted-title-border yellow" data-bootstrap-contains="rows"> <div class="row g-0"> <div class="chtb-header col-12 mb-3"> <div class="chtb-title font-xl">Access to knowledge and resources</div> </div> <div class="chtb-body col-12 mb-2 ps-2"> <p>We expect IHI projects to be at the cutting edge of cross-sector health research and innovation, and participants will have early access to project results. In addition, thanks to the open sharing of knowledge and data in projects, project participants may gain access to other resources and infrastructures such as large biobanks, laboratories, clinical centres and databases. More broadly, because the partners in projects are so diverse, there is a huge opportunity to learn from your fellow project participants whose expertise and ways of working may be very different to your own.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-lg-6 d-flex justify-content-center"> <div class="card-highlighted-title-border yellow" data-bootstrap-contains="rows"> <div class="row g-0"> <div class="chtb-header col-12 mb-3"> <div class="chtb-title font-xl">Contribute to results that advance health research</div> </div> <div class="chtb-body col-12 mb-2 ps-2"> <p>By joining an IHI project, you will contribute to delivering exciting research results that will make a difference to the people鈥檚 lives. IHI projects are designed to carry out high-quality research which, in the long term, should have an impact on patients and health systems.
