Funding reaches up to €112,000 for a Foundational Learning Path or up to €162,000 per Thematic Learning Path (up to four thematic projects), with a total call budget of €610,000, but covers only 50% of costs, the rest must come from non-EIT Health sources. Only consortia of 2-5 independent legal entities spanning industry, education and research across at least two Horizon Europe countries may apply; individuals cannot.

- Partners spanning at least 2 sides of the Knowledge Triangle (industry, education, research), including one industry organisation
- Groups able to co-fund at least 50% of project costs from non-EIT Health sources
- Providers experienced in delivering training or acceleration programmes for health start-ups

- Two-year project duration (2027-2028); call runs annually

## Tips for applicants

- Line up co-funding sources before applying, EIT Health only covers 50% of costs, so partners need matched funding secured or credibly committed.
- Ensure the consortium explicitly covers at least two sides of the Knowledge Triangle including one industry partner, and document each partner's country to meet the Horizon Europe country-diversity rule.
- Prepare for the online pitch stage early since shortlisted applicants are invited to pitch after the eligibility check, treat the written application as the gateway, not the final hurdle.
