Each KIC focuses on an overarching societal challenge.

The goals of EIT Health are to contribute to increasing the competitiveness of European industry, improve the quality of life of Europe’s citizens and the sustainability of healthcare systems.
EIT Health thus supports research, education and business projects in three main investment areas:
• Promoting Healthy Living:

o Workplace interventions o Overcoming functional loss o Ageing with a healthy brain
o Mobility and independence throughout life

Additional Information
EIT Health develops talents, drives innovative business ideas forward and boosts the global competitiveness of European industry through three key programmes:
• Campus: EIT Health Campus aspires to build a creative healthcare workforce that is conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship. It develops education programmes tailored to provide future healthcare leaders and entrepreneurs, who will shape the future of European healthcare. The programme helps students and post-doctoral researchers raise their levels of expertise and employability. It also supports professionals and executives who wish to deepen their knowledge and
understanding of healthcare and its industry. Campus moreover reaches out to citizens and enables them to manage their own health.
• Accelerator: EIT Health Accelerator propels promising ideas, startups and
entrepreneurs onto the market. It supports Europe’s premier innovations that tackle today’s healthcare challenges through three activity lines:
o The INCUBATE! activity line offers support for not-yet entrepreneurs or
scientists wanting to develop startups.
o The VALIDATE! line places emphasis on validating products and services,
using a network of Living Labs and Test Beds to give entrepreneurs the means to test products throughout the value chain.
o SCALE! activities focus on more mature startups and SMEs, to facilitate access
to tools and networks for financing and market expansion.
• Innovation Projects: EIT Health Innovation Projects programme helps generate new ideas for healthcare, and gets these ideas into Europe’s healthcare system and into citizens’ lives to improve their health, wellness and quality of life. It carefully evaluates project ideas in order to support those that will have the greatest positive impact on healthcare. Ideas supported for the EIT Health Innovation Projects are multidisciplinary and contribute to at least one of Europe’s diverse healthcare challenges. They include areas ranging from lifestyle interventions and nutrition, to brain health and treating chronic diseases, to social care and managing risk of exclusion, to improving healthcare systems. Projects are categorised into one of two streams:
o Innovation by Ideas: collaborative projects that are solution-driven and
bottom-up.
o Innovation by Design: collaborative projects that are needs-driven and start
from a recognised market need or societal problem to deliver tangible results for citizens.
