Webinars on IMI2 Call 15 and 16

The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) will hold webinars between July 4 and July 23 on topics of the 15th and 16th call for proposals, as well as on IMI2 rules and procedures. All webinars on the Call topics will feature a presentation by the EFPIA topic coordinator and time for questions and answers. The webinars represent an excellent opportunity to learn more about the topics, interact directly with the topic coordinators, and get in touch with potential project partners.

The webinar on IMI’s rules and procedures will also include presentations of IMI's intellectual property regime and tips on the preparation of proposal submissions. IMI will also hold a dedicated webinar for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This will cover elements of the different Call topics that may be of particular relevance for SMEs, as well as a presentation of IMI’s rules and procedures with a focus on aspects that are most important for SMEs. The Calls 15 and 16 will be launched this month. The indicative topic texts are available on the Future Topics page.

The goal of the IMI2 is to develop next generation vaccines, medicines and treatments, such as new antibiotics. It will build on the successes and lessons learnt under IMI. Like IMI, it will bring together companies, universities, public laboratories, innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), patient groups and regulators in collaborative projects that will pave the way for breakthrough vaccines, medicines and treatments to tackle Europe’s growing health challenges, and secure the future international competitiveness of Europe's pharmaceutical industry.
