Welcome to Fit for Health !
"Fit for Health" is a network of experts for the successful participation of
research centres, universities and innovative SMEs in EU-funded "HEALTH" research
projects.
The success of the SMEs go Health project in its support of
SMEs and researchers prompted a new follow-up initiative entitled Fit for
Health which started in October 2010.
Fit for Health offers wide-ranging services specifically for
research-intensive, high technology SMEs and researchers in the EU-funded
“Health” thematic priority of FP7.
Our team of 27 partners comprise highly experienced research management
companies and FP7 national contact points (NCPs) for “Health” and
“SMEs”, with renowned innovation experts and trainers, and ensure
excellent coverage of the entire innovation pipeline: we help innovative SMEs,
researchers from universities and research centres during all phases of FP7
projects, from the project idea to the efficient and effective
valorisation of project results.
Fit for Health is optimally connected to other key support
networks for SMEs, offering a synergistic benefit for SMEs and researchers
acting in the Health-related area.
