1 EIT Health InnoStars e.v. Neumann János st. 1/E 1117 Budapest Hungary T: E: W: eithealth.eu Call for proposal Provision of external expertise for EIT Health InnoStars January 10, 2018 EIT Health is supported by the EIT, a body of the European Union 1

2 1. Overview of EIT Health and InnoStars The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is an independent EU body that is boosting Europe s ability to innovate. The EIT nurtures entrepreneurial talent and supports new ideas, bringing together the knowledge triangle of leading companies, universities and research centres to form dynamic cross-border partnerships called Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). Currently there are six thematic KICs: EIT Food, Climate-KIC, EIT Digital, EIT InnoEnergy, EIT Health, EIT RawMaterials. The InnoStars are regional clusters of EIT Health Associate Partners representing industry, academia, and health providers linked to seven regions in six countries (Portugal, UK - Wales, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Italy) eligible for H2020 Widening Participation or ESIF funds. InnoStars expertise in regional development opens new opportunities for EIT Health technologies and the resulting collaboration across cultures and backgrounds will enhance disruptive innovations. The knowledge and experience of the InnoStars as well as the diversity of their populations, associated lifestyles, regulatory frameworks, and healthcare systems will help overcome barriers to rolling out innovations across Europe. Each InnoStar will provide innovation infrastructures, funded by Structural Fund investments and made available for use by EIT Health. InnoStars test beds and living labs will be able to test new ideas in a selection of EU regions with varied innovation capacities, each possessing differing governance and legal structures. The below map shows all EIT Health locations including those in InnoStars countries. 2
