Innovative Health Initiative - A novel, applicant-driven approach for the next call for proposals (Call 9)

Published on | 4 days ago

Programmes Health  

The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has announced its plans to pilot a novel, applicant-driven approach to its next call for proposals. As there are still untapped opportunities in IHI's Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), Call 9, which is scheduled for launch in early 2025, will have a much broader scope than previous calls. 

Call 9 will welcome proposals covering any aspect of the SRIA. Proposals will still have to adhere to the philosophy of IHI. They will have to: address an unmet public health need; require a large-scale, ambitious, cross-sector, public-private partnership; have clearly-described impacts on society, the economy and science; take account of the pre-competitive nature of IHI projects. 

From a procedural point of view, IHI call 9 will be a standard, single-stage call for proposals. Applicants will have to ensure that half of their project’s costs are covered by in-kind contributions from IHI’s industry members and (if relevant) IHI contributing partners.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
