EURO Nº 237 – EIT HEALTH BUSINESS PLAN 2022

EIT Health is calling for activities for our portfolio in 2022 and beyond! The publication of this call is the beginning of a journey connecting those who understand and can identify the needs with those who have the solution to ultimately deliver value to patients and citizens, as well as to our healthcare systems by and large

Strategic goals

  1. Promoting better health of citizens.
  2. Strengthening healthcare systems in Europe.
  3. Contributing to a sustainable health economy in Europe.

Focus Areas

These are areas where innovation is needed, either because current outcomes do not fully meet the needs/expectations or because existing solutions address the problem in expensive manner:

  1. Towards Health Continuum Care Pathways
  2. Bringing Care Home
  3. Creating the Enabling Environment for Healthcare Transformation
  4. From the Workplace to the Health Place
  5. Harnessing the Power of Real‐World Data
  6. Fostering Healthy Lives by Introducing Behavioral Change

Deadlines to be considered

Expressions of Interest: from 16 November 2020 to 13 January 2021, 16h CET

Complete Proposals: 25 January –24 March 2021, 16h CET

Activity Type: INNOVATION

Transform the way healthcare is delivered (introduction of new standards of care or gold standards), speeding up the connection between science/technology and patient care. Transform healthcare systems.

Partner-driven projects develop products and/or services that will generate revenues and cost savings when introduced in the market.
Start-up-driven projects develop products and/or services that will generate revenues and cost savings when introduced in the market and offer a model where partners and start-up companies can collaboratively accelerate innovation uptake through the implementation of the Start-up Amplifier instrument
High Value Care projects focus on both value (improving health outcomes that matter most to patients) and reimbursement (paying for the outcomes that we aim to have) using existing technology that requires appropriate efforts on Information Systems (data integration, software integration, etc.) but no technology development.

Activity Type: EDUCATION

Co-create! Programmes are open for new innovative education programmes and re-applications of programmes in the 2021 portfolio that are brought forward by consortia or pre-existing networks (e.g. Innovation Fellowships). The goal of the Co-create! Call is to design, create, and deliver innovative, impactful, and high-quality education programmes to educate and equip the healthcare workforce, entrepreneurs, citizens, patients and talents across Europe to tackle public health challenges.

Degree Programmes are open for re-applications of three Degree Programmes (Health and Medical Data Analytics(HMDA), BeHealsy, and Aging@EITHealth PhD School) and new applications for PhD and Master programmes. The goal of the EITHealth Degree Programmes Call is to develop and support pan-European Master and Doctoral programmes that deliver innovation and entrepreneurship skills to students. The ultimate aim is to nurture the talents of tomorrow (entrepreneurs, change agents, professionals) to boost innovation in the healthcare ecosystem.

Activity Type: BUSINESS CREATION

The main goal is build and scale healthcare companies

Bootcamp Activities (new and continuation), an intensive incubation activity for about 10 European teams. Bootcamps should have a clear thematic focus (e.g. medtech, biotech, digital health). The Bootcamp activities are complimented by the EIT Health Bootcamp Tour (see deferred call for 2020 here).

Continuation Activities, a diverse offer to start-ups and SMEs at different maturity levels, including highly individualised mentoring support, a comprehensive financial tool offer and internationalisation support amongst others.

Activity Type: EIT Health Recognition Programme (ReCog)

The EIT Heath Recognition Programme allows high quality activities, that have not been selected for a grant, or that have demonstrated success during grant support, to benefit from the EIT Health network’s reputation and further support.
