Life Sciences Pre-Seed Grant: Call open for submissions
January 7, 2010 - The fifth round of the Life Sciences Pre-Seed Grant, is now open for submissions. All Life Sciences researchers thinking about starting up a company are invited to submit an application.
The Life Sciences Pre-Seed Grant offers a great opportunity for applied researchers associated with a Dutch university or research institution. Worth up to € 250,000, it offers superb prospects for those looking to exploit their fundamental research commercially by starting up a new business.
Apart from the obvious cash injection, being awarded a Pre-Seed Grant sets the scene for creating a commercial platform for exploiting your research. The grant may be used to validate your research, perform (further) clinical or pre-clinical research, or to fund practical issues concerning starting up a company, such as acquiring knowledge on legal or IP aspects, or for technology transfer. The final objective is to ensure there is an effective and powerful business plan in place, making the new company viable, profitable and attractive to possible further investors. The submission deadline is 2 March 2010, 15:00 hrs.
