Our Scientific and Industrial Relevance Evaluation Committee is made up of independent experts from industry, academia, clinicians and patient representatives. Its mandate is to evaluate each project from various angles: potential economic benefits, commercial potential, scientific rigour and clinical need. Its main role is to support companies, researchers and institutions in the creation and implementation of innovative healthcare technologies, to select projects with high impact potential, to improve proposals and to ensure the match between needs and technology.
