Posted on 05.02.2026

On 11 February 2026, the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) Office will host a webinar titled "Everything you need to know about IHI contributing partners", ideal for organisations that are not affiliated to a private member and are looking to strategically support IHI in a specific research area and shape new IHI projects and also for organisations that are affiliated to a private member (such as MedTech Europe) and want to understand how contributing partners can contribute to their proposals. Register here to secure your place!

Webinar topics include:

• Eligibility criteria for becoming a contributing partner
• Step-by-step guidance on the application process, including practical tips
• Eligible types of contributions and their requirements
• Legal and financial rules applicable to contributing partners
• Common application mistakes and how to avoid them

The contributing partners category is designed for health stakeholders that wish to invest strategically in IHI without becoming full members. Contributing partners support specific IHI project(s) by providing their own resources - such as researchers' time, laboratories, or data - or by making financial contributions.

Any country, international organisation, or legal entity that is not affiliated with an IHI private (industry) member may apply to become a contributing partner. The application process is explained here.
