Faculty of Impact Life Sciences and Health

The Faculty of Impact program is aimed at researchers who want to achieve impact with their research and are interested in setting up their own company. These researchers can now submit a grant application to become a so-called “fellow” at the Faculty of Impact. A maximum of € 185,000 is available per application. The duration of this program is two years.

Purpose
The aim of the Faculty of Impact is to provide talented fellows from all disciplines with the opportunity to combine entrepreneurship with science. Fellows have an innovative idea that offers opportunities to realize social impact. This could be a tool to stimulate behavior change, a technological innovation, a new business model, consultancy to support non-profit ideas, and so on. During a two-year FoI programme, the fellows have the opportunity to further develop and scale up their creative and pioneering ideas. The social anchoring of the idea is part of this, as well as the conditions of implementation, creating awareness, developing dissemination plans and finding opportunities to finance the idea.

The deadline for submitting a fully detailed application is Tuesday 31 October 2023, before 14:00:00 CET.
