The European Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has now opened Call 12, an applicant-driven, one-stage call with five themes. Each theme is linked to one of the five specific objectives of IHI's strategic research and innovation agenda. The application deadline is 21 April 2026.
The call is aimed at researchers and stakeholders who wish to participate in cross-sectoral collaborative projects within health innovation. IHI encourages participation from academia, various industrial sectors, small and medium-sized enterprises, hospitals, patient organizations and other relevant environments.
Support for networking and partner search
In November 2025, IHI hosted a hybrid brokerage event to support networking and early consortium formation. The presentations from the event are available, and the digital platform for networking will be open until the application deadline: https://ihicalldays2025.converve.io/
All topics, documents, application guidelines and information on how to find project partners can be found on IHI's website.
Information days in January
Call Days for call 12 will be held on 19–20 January. The program includes information sessions on the call's content, regulations, procedures and financial requirements in the application process. More information: https://link.europa.eu/jNkncr
Participants can also use the digital platform to identify and meet potential partners.
