Connect & Learn: European Innovation Council EIC funding opportunities

The Connect&Learn session is a virtual meeting organized by the TECSAM Network that aims to connect researchers, start-ups, and other members of the health ecosystem around a topic of shared interest. On this occasion, the session takes place within the Barcelona Health Innovation Week organized by Biocat. In this edition, the TECSAM Network and Bridge the Gap join forces to offer a session for startups and innovation projects in health and mental health, with a focus on European Innovation Council (EIC) funding opportunities. Participants learn about the three main EIC schemes: Pathfinder for early-stage disruptive research, Transition to turn research results into applicable innovations, and Accelerator to scale startups with combined grant and equity funding. The session provides practical insights on how to access these European instruments and boost project growth and impact. The TECSAM Network brings together innovative mental health solutions developed by our members — 63 leading research groups from 26 Catalan institutions working in technology and mental health. Our goal is to accelerate the valorization and transfer of these evidence-based solutions. If you would like to learn more about us or our activities, we invite you to visit the TECSAM website. The session is led by Laura Sisó Miró, CEO and co-founder of Bridge the Gap.
