Our support to setting up collaborative projects

  • A support to setting up a collaborative research consortium for a project call from the European Commission (Horizon Europe), through private funding (Leducq or Gates), or through the PIA (Plan d’Investissement d’Avenir) (see « Our collaborative projects »).
  • If you are a researcher in an Inserm team and you want information about setting up a project, you will find the information you need on the Inserm Intranet: https://intranet.inserm.fr in the section “Research Support”.

Collaborative projects (Horizon Europe, IMI, FUI, PIA, etc.), once accepted, generally require a consortium agreement. In 2023, Inserm Transfert signed 71 consortium agreements for Inserm. Setting up a multi-partner collaborative research project requires expertises in intellectual property, legal property and business development to protect your interests, those of the unit and those of Inserm. Inserm Transfert supports you in this stage. The involvement of Inserm Transfert at the earliest stage in the discussions guarantees optimal quality of service.

Researcher's words

Giuseppina Caligiuri, Inserm U1148, Laboratory for Translational Vascular Research

"These are people who gave everything they could to move the project forward, by that I mean that they were available at any time [...] to help us."

"There were people who were interested in the project as I was proposing it and who improved it."

"The support from Inserm Transfert was essential for filing our patents [...] and finding development partners.”
