Top Sector LSH Network Meeting

Thursday, January 17, 2013

9 January marks the opening of an LSH Impulse call within the framework of the top sector policy. Purpose of this call is to stimulate cooperation between health funds, knowledge institutions and (SME) businesses. The idea is to link patient interests to scientific expertise and the proven valorisation of products.

The available budget totals 24 million euro, including possible contributions from health funds, companies, knowledge institutions and TKI surcharge. The generic LSH Match scheme for public-private partnership was also started on 9 January.

31 January 2013, Jaarbeurs Utrecht

A network meeting will take place at the Jaarbeurs Utrecht on 31 January from 13.30 to 17.30 hours, at which both the LSH Impulse call and the LSH Match scheme will be explained. There will also be an opportunity to make contact to formulate projects together. Organisations can on this occasion present themselves and their ambitions or a project (by means of posters) to find out which parties may be interested in a possible collaboration.

Admittance is free, registration is compulsory.

The registration form must be sent to hegge@genomics.nl
before 29 January 2013.
