The draft texts of the topics slated for inclusion in IHI call 13 are now available on the Future opportunities page of the IHI website. The call is scheduled for launch in summer 2026, but we are publishing the draft topics now to give applicants additional time to prepare a strong proposal and join or build a winning consortium.

IHI call 13 will be a standard, two-stage call for proposals with the following topics:

  • IHI European healthcare incubator network
  • An AI foundation toxicology model and framework to support waiving a second species in drug safety studies
  • Decode the immuno-science of age-related mediated diseases

What happens next?

The topics are currently under consultation with our States’ Representatives Group (SRG) and Science and Innovation Panel (SIP). They may therefore change considerably between the versions published here and the call launch, and applicants should check the final, approved topic texts once they are published.

Nevertheless, we strongly encourage anyone interested in these topics to start preparing a proposal and get networking with potential partners.

IHI will hold info sessions the call around the time of the call launch; these will cover the topics as well as our rules and procedures.
