These programs have a wide variation in available budget, partner participation and topics. For each program’s criteria, visit the respective page.
Pioneers in Healthcare
With the Pioneers in HealthCare (PIHC) Innovation Fund, the University of Twente, Saxion, MST, ZGT and Deventer Hospital are promoting bottom-up collaboration between the world of new technologies and medical practice with a view to facilitating the introduction of innovative technology in the clinic. Technical solutions to overcome limitations in the current health care, or new medical applications of existing technology, that’s what’s PIHC is all about.
TURBO program
Each year, the UT and Radboudumc jointly offer four Twente University RadBoudumc Opportunities (TURBO) grants of 80K€ each. These project-based grants will be awarded to four preferably new collaborations between researchers from the University of Twente and Radboudumc. The goal of a TURBO grant is to prepare a joint grant application aimed at securing substantial external funding.
Top Technology Twente – Connecting Industries Call
To further expand its strategic partnerships with external organizations (industry, hospitals, NGO's), the UT invests in scientific research programs with strong, concrete industrial interest. Typically 2 times per year, the UT issues a call for proposals based on the funds available from the Topsector HTSM. The goal of this call is to develop or realize a strong relationship with external partners. Please contact us for the latest updates and call deadlines.
