Introducing the Innovative Health Initiative: Europe’s new partnership for health Virtual event
26.01.22 - 26.01.22
What is the Innovative Health Initiative? Who are the partners? And how can I get involved? All your questions will be answered in the online IHI launch event.
In the first session, IHI Executive Director Dr Pierre Meulien will present IHI and explain why we are launching a new European partnership for health. He will also describe what's new compared to the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), and what will stay the same. IHI staff will then present opportunities for stakeholders to get involved in IHI, for example by applying to become a member of the IHI Science and Innovation Panel (SIP), or by becoming an expert evaluator. They will also offer a preview of the draft topics under consideration for inclusion in the first IHI call for proposals.
