The first call for BioPhoT Research and Innovation Projects (RIPs), with a total funding of €6 million, is open until 8 May. Up to €200,000 per project is available in smart specialisation areas: biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, photonics, etc. Mentoring is available during the RIP application process. The deadline for applying for mentoring is 25 April.
The evaluation of RIP applications will take place in two rounds. In the first round, a panel of independent scientific, industry and innovation experts will assess the innovative potential of the RIP idea and its relevance to market and/or end-user needs. Applicants will be required to prepare a five-minute presentation and after the presentation in front of the panel, a 10-minute question and answer session. The second round will consist of a full project submission and scientific peer review by experts selected by the Latvian Science Council.
