Applications open for the 4th edition of InnOValley PoC
Oeiras, 28th May 2025
The fourth edition of the InnOValley Proof of Concept (IOV PoC) call for applications is now open, until July 18th 2025. This funding mechanism aims to support the most innovative projects that require further validation and proof of concept.
The total budget for this edition edition is €200K. Awards are typically in the range of €40-50K (covering directly incurred costs only), for up to 12 months. Projects seeking lower amounts could be considered. IOV PoC aims to help up to four projects move forward in the translational pathway to stages where the data package is robust enough to fill for Intellectual Property (IP) Protection and/or be engaged in activities with industry and/or investors.
In 2025, the eligibility criteria have been broadened to welcome applications from all scientific domains within NIMSB and INIAV, in addition to ITQB NOVA researchers.
IOV PoC is co-funded by the Municipality of Oeiras along with the above participating institutions. The call is open to all Principal Investigators and Post-docs.
