Priorities and funded actions
Objective
* To support further research activities in those exceptional cases where it is necessary to enable successful consortia to build on the achievements of their initial action and move onto the next step of the challenge
Priorities
* Improve the current drug development process by providing support for the development of tools, standards and approaches to assess efficacy, safety and quality of regulated health product;
* Benefit public health and improve the health and well-being of European citizens;
* Contribute to the EU’s industrial leadership, including in relation to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);
* Have an impact on regulatory and/or health technology assessment, and healthcare practices, where relevant;
* Further maximise the value of the IMI2 JU public-private partnership by harnessing support from different stakeholders, including the substantial mobilisation of funds through contributing partners (i.e. EFPIA constituents and affiliated entities and, where relevant, by IMI2 JU Associated Partners)12, not necessarily involved in the initial project. Reflecting the public-private character of IMI2 JU actions, applicants should demonstrate that the mobilised contributions are in addition to those already committed by any contributing partners in the initial project(s).
