The Flagships Call will consist of a one-year long call with two application deadlines, known as

cut-off dates: 28 February 2024 and 18 September 2024.

• The cut-off dates are the deadlines for short proposals and/or single proposal submission.

• It is important to note that not all activities called within the Flagship framework will be

called at both cut-offs.




The application will be done through the EIT Health Application Platform.

New applicants will need to register on the application platform available here. https://eithealth-apply.eu-1.smartsimple.eu/s_Login.jsp




Selection process

The selection process aims to ensure that applicants provide information for evaluation only at the necessary moment in the selection funnel, while strengthening proposals to maximise the success and impact of activities ultimately welcomed into the EIT Health portfolio. A quality threshold of minimum 70% of the maximum obtainable points applies at the relevant selection steps. The selection process will vary according to the single stage or two-stage submission evaluation.




Single stage submission

For single stage submissions the selection process is planned to last one month. Please consider that for the single stage evaluation process the number of steps is reduced




Two-stage submission

For two-stage (Short + Full proposal) submissions, the selection process is expected to last up to 4.5 months from the short proposal submission to the final selection notification.




Filtering

Consortiums will be invited to submit a short or single proposal form (accessible through EIT Health’s application platform), as applicable, as well as general information on their activity. For single stage submissions, all details are expected at the submission date.

In the two-stage submission process, the activity plan may not be fully finalised, and the

consortiums may not be complete at the short proposal stage.

The minimum requirements for applying (including eligibility criteria) are specified in the call document (see Further information below).

In addition to eligibility checking, EIT Health will perform a high-level assessment of general alignment of the proposal with the Flagships call based on strategic fit, potential future impact,and activity feasibility. This will yield a yes/no decision on the progression of the proposals in the evaluation process.




Pre-selection

Pre-selection is only applicable to the two-stage evaluation approach.

Proposals that pass the filtering step will go through a pre-selection evaluation consisting of an online pitch in front of external evaluators.




Support programme

The support programme is only applicable to the two-stage evaluation approach.

The support programme provides an opportunity for each invited consortium to work furtheron their activity plan, complete their team, and strengthen their ideas through mentoring and coaching.




Due diligence

All micro and small enterprises acting as commercialising entities and applying to Technology or Service Development activities or DiGinnovation programme must go through a due diligence process to assess the company potential.




Final selection

The final selection phase will be facilitated for all consortiums who submit complete full

proposals and complete single stage proposals.This phase will consist of an external evaluation and an Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI)

review. The external evaluation will take the form of a remote review for all calls, except for Technology and Service Development activities, for which the external evaluation will involve Hearings.
