Call for proposals

HealthTech supports scientific projects developed by multi-disciplinary teams built purposely to find solutions to problems raised by a proven medical need.

Call for PhD proposals

Calls for PhD proposals are launched every year for HealthTech members. Applications are evaluated based on scientific quality and relevance of the topic in regard to HealthTech’s research axes. Only research projects with a strong interdisciplinary approach and a clear medical application are considered. In the sake of interdisciplinarity, all PhD projects must be co-supervised by at least two research scientists from different disciplinary backgrounds.
 

The 2024 call for HealthTech PhD projects is currently open. 

If you are a HealthTech member and would like more information about how to submit a PhD project, please contact us by email.

If you are a potential PhD candidate, this call for proposals precedes candidate selection and is only open to permanent researchers. Please refer to our PhD application info page for more information about how the PhD process works in France.

Call for research proposals requiring platform support

The call for research projects requiring platform support is open on a rolling basis. The goal of this funding opportunity is to provide functioning support for research projects in terms of platform service. The initiation of novel close collaborations between principal research scientists working in different fields is welcome, but the call is also open to well-established research projects, in which case the project shall be in an advanced translational phase for its realization to rely on the support of a platform. At least one of the PI of the project must belong to the ITI HealthTech consortium.
 

To apply for funding for a project requiring platform support, please contact iti-healthtech[at]unistra.fr for the application.

 

The call for research projects requiring platform support is open on a rolling basis.
 Projects will be evaluated on a trimestrial basis.
