The Field Manual
IMI projects have delivered powerful fit-for-purpose solutions, or assets, that have the potential to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes on a global scale. Deployment of these results in research, regulatory and medical practice beyond the context of EU-funded projects needs to be properly planned and resourced to achieve the desired impact.
This scaling up often falls outside of the project timelines or objectives, but the understanding that both project design and the engagement of stakeholders during the lifetime of the project help determine the success of future deployment drove EFPIA to develop the Field Manual on scaling innovations emerging from public-private partnerships.
Although the Field Manual is based on the experience of several IMI digital health projects, it provides actionable guidance that can be applied to IHI projects working in other areas of research. It includes practical advice and solutions on issues such as: how to set a scale-up vision; how to identify drivers, opportunities, challenges, and the capabilities to scale up; and how to determine your project's optimal scale-up pathway.

What did you gain
The goal of the masterclass was to raise awareness about the Field Manual and explain how to use it when planning and executing pre-competitive projects.
By joining this session, you were able:
- to understand how to use the Field Manual in real project situations;
- to learn how to apply its tools at key stages of your project lifecycle;
- to gain practical insights from concrete use cases.
Who should attend
This session was particularly relevant for:
- Project coordinators and consortium members
- Anyone responsible for planning, managing, or contributing to collaborative projects
