Collaboration with IML:

Ingemar Pongratz from Fenix Scientific AB / Pongratz Consulting was invited to join IML (Innovativa Mindre Life Science Företag) earlier in the spring of 2013.

IML is the Swedish Association for Research Intensive Small and Medium Sized Enterprises in the Medical and Life Science sector. Together with the Swedish Health Care sector, IML aims to perform research to ensure that patients receive the best possible health care. For this purpose, IML aims to make sure that research findings reach the Health Care system fast, and works to remove obstacles coupled to for example legislation.

An additional IML objective is to become an European and International actor. Increasing the participation of IML and of IML member companies is therefore an important part of this strategy.

Pongratz Consulting will offer support and advice to IML members when they are planning and preparing different EU funded project proposals, such as proposal for the Horizon 2020 scheme or for Eurostars.

Currently, Fenix Scientific / Pongratz Consulting is planning the first joint Pongratz Consulting-IML activities, but IML member companies can already now contact Pongratz Consulting for initial advice and to start the process of planning and preparing EU funded proposal.

According to the agreement with IML and Pongratz Consulting, IML members will obtain initial advice free of charge.

The next deadline for Horizon 2020 proposal is approaching soon, and the second deadlines are scheduled for the fall 2014.

It is there fore a good time to start planning the Horizon 2020 proposal, to contact suitable partners and to start the writing process for the next deadline.

Two stage proposal require quite a lot of work to compress all your planned activities into a short, coherent 7 page document, so don’t be fooled by the relatively short size of the text that needs to be developed. It takes time and requires planning.
