This webinar provided an in-depth exploration of the key aspects of in-kind contributions.

IHI’s funding is based on a model of blended finance, where EU funding is matched by contributions from our industry partners and (in some projects) other organisations such as philanthropic foundations. The majority (around 90%) of the industry contribution to IMI and IHI projects is ‘in-kind’. In-kind contributions include scientific and regulatory expertise; unique data, assets and compounds; and access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure and cutting-edge technology. Crucially, these private sector in-kind contributions complement the skills, expertise and resources brought into the project by the ‘public’ partners such as universities and patient organisations.  

In this webinar, representatives of IMI and IHI projects presented examples of different kinds of in-kind contributions, demonstrated how in-kind contributions incentivise the uptake and exploitation of project results and described how in-kind operations drive additional activities within and across companies by combining outcomes from several projects.
