The International Kickstarter Call aims to initiate new, international public-private partnerships in the Life Sciences & Health sector. The programme focuses on consortia that are in an early phase of collaboration with partners from the priority countries, as stated in the International Strategy 2024–2027. With this call, the Top Sector LSH aims to stimulate international R&D trajectories that contribute to innovation, valorisation and future economic and social impact.
The call for proposals is intended for consortia consisting of at least one research organisation and one for-profit company. The main applicant must be established in the Netherlands and can be either a research organisation or a company. At least one of the consortium partners must be established in one of the target countries as mentioned in the International Strategy 2024-2027
