Through our Healthy Start-ers Fund we support scientists and their societal partners to create science-based impact products or prototype solutions, or investigate opportunities for innovation in education and build new collaborations.

Every year, we award a number of innovative project proposals with a starter grant to kick-start these initiatives. Each of the projects bring us knowledge about how to create impact and improve transdisciplinary collaborations. Each represent a small step towards our greater ambitions.

These ‘Sprint projects’ are short-term (max. 12 months), high-impact projects that aim to develop creative and actionable outcomes, initiated by researchers in collaboration with societal partners and linked to the Healthy Start ambitions.
