The final, approved versions of the call texts for IHI calls 9 and 10 are now available on the Future opportunities page of the website.
IHI call 9 - a single-stage, applicant driven call
IHI call 9 will be a single-stage, applicant-driven call with five topics aligned with the five specific objectives set out in the IHI Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). For this call, we want applicants to explore the SRIA and identify untapped opportunities that could be transformed into public-private projects through IHI.
Proposals will still 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.
IHI call 10 - a standard, two-stage call
IHI call 10 will be a standard, two-stage call for proposals with the following topics
- Digital label: one source of comprehensive information for medical technology products
- Enabling and safeguarding innovation in secondary use of health data in the European Health Data Space (EHDS)
- Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure, emissions, and end of life management in the healthcare sector
The topic texts were approved by the IHI Governing Board as part of the IHI Work Programme for 2025. The calls will be officially launched in January 2025. Meanwhile potential applicants are encouraged to sign up for the IHI Call Days, which run from 7 to 16 January.
