IDEA� Global: Call for Projects


IDEA� Global provides mentoring and connections to biomedical innovators around the world to develop their project ideas and to provide the expertise to realize them.  It is especially valuable for trainees,  early-stage professionals and those who have few opportunities in their normal work to participate in innovation projects.

Each 6-month edition of IDEA� recruits new project teams of one or more individuals, and provides innovation training, presentation skill building, and team-specific mentorship and guidance by internationally-recognized experts.

Teams who complete IDEA� have projects more clearly focused on a driving medical need, a broader network of connections, and improved ability to compete for collaborators and funding.

IDEA� Global is based on two prior programs, IDEA� at Harvard-MIT HST, and IDEA� Madrid, a program of the Madrid�MIT M+Visi�n Consortium.

Who is eligible?

  *   Any individual or groups who have an idea for a biomedical research project or business concept.
  *   Individuals or at least 1 member of a team must be available for the Final Presentation in Boston on November 16-17, 2016.
