Call has ended!

A more diverse and intelligent use of health data, the utilization of digitalization and new technologies, and a shift in the focus of healthcare to foresight and prevention are seen as key roles in seeking solutions to improve the carrying capacity of health care sector.

The research call seeks interdisciplinary projects that create new knowledge for the development of new, cost-effective and effective solutions. Various experts are also invited to participate in the projects, such as clinicians or other health care personnel. In addition, research projects must have at least three (3) companies funding the project that aim for internationalization with their solutions.
