IHI call 12, which is scheduled for launch in early 2026, will invite applicants to explore new opportunities for IHI projects in the IHI Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda.
The call builds on the success of IHI call 9, which was launched earlier this year and piloted the applicant-driven approach. Under IHI call 12, proposals will have to adhere to the philosophy of IHI. In other words, 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; and contribute to strengthening the competitiveness or the EU’s health industries and the implementation of relevant EU policies.
From a practical point of view, IHI call 12 will be a standard, single-stage call for proposals. This means that 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.
