Joint R&D Project
Initiative overview
In 2019 Innoviris launched a new Joint R&D project call focusing on predictive medicine. This call is coherent with our focus on health as one of our three major priorities in the Regional Innovation Plan. Thanks to the progress made on medical imagery and biotechnology, there is a possibility to move further on medicine. The long term goal is to move from therapeutic medicine to predictive medicine in order to put in place prevention strategies for patients. The three pillars of this call are: identification, prediction and prevention. The previous year, in 2018, a call was launched on decentralised networks. For 2020, the theme of the Joint R&D project programme is The Industry of Tomorrow: Green, Human & Smart. The smart' aspect refers to AI. EUR 12 million was invested in the first edition of the Joint R&D Project in approximately fifteen artificial intelligence projects.The initiative has the following objectives:To foster R&D related collaboration between academia and industry in the Brussels-Capital Region.
