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

Published on | 7 months 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.

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
