ProgrammesEIT Health, a Knowledge and Innovation Community of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), is looking for a consortium to deliver the "Beyond the Idea: From Concept to Venture" programme in 2027 and 2028. The programme helps master’s and doctoral students validate early-stage healthcare innovations and develop them into business ventures.
For two cohorts, the selected consortium is expected to provide masterclasses, mentoring and a final Pitch Day, among other activities. Participants will work on the commercial viability of their solution, a business model and a roadmap for setting up a company.
The call is aimed at a consortium comprising one university incubator and one entrepreneurship support provider. Together, they must demonstrate experience in incubation, mentoring, market validation, business development and venture building, as well as a sound understanding of both the academic context and the pathway towards a start-up.
Available funding amounts to a maximum of €36,000 and the application deadline is 2 November 2026. All information about the call is available here. An online Q&A session will take place on 15 October 2026. Register here.

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
