Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking

Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking rather than just read about it. In short: The Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU) is a European initiative to improve the competitive situation of the European Union in the field of pharmaceutical research. The IHI is a joint initiative (public-private partnership) of the DG Research of the European Commission, representing the European Communities, and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA).

Key takeaways

Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU) is a European initiative to improve the competitive situation of the European Union in the field of pharmaceutical research. The IHI is a joint initiative (public-private partnership) of the DG Research of the European Commission, representing the European Communities, and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). IHI is laid out as a Joint Technology Initiative within the Seventh Framework Programme. Michel Goldman was the first executive director, from September 2009 until December 2014. The Innovative Medicines Initiative is aimed towards removing research bottlenecks in the current drug development process. The IHI Joint Technology Initiative (IHI JTI), to be implemented by the IHI Joint Undertaking is meant to address these research bottlenecks. Its €2bn budget makes it the largest biomedical public-private partnership in the world. The funding scheme has been criticised, requiring universities to invest more money than with EU FP7 programs. Besides the non-competitive financial aspects of participation in IHI projects for academia, this criticism also discusses that intellectual property is freely flowing to industry. The Sixth Framework Programme's research projects InnoMed AddNeuroMed and InnoMed PredTox acted as pilot projects establishing the feasibility of this particular public-private partnership. Since then, the IHI has had four funding rounds: the first call had the topic Safety, while the second call was about Efficacy. Projects for these two calls are ongoing. The IMI 2 started in 2014 and will run until 2024, while the IMI 1 is still running. Overall budget is €3.276 billion, taken for half from the European Horizon 2020 program. Goals of that second calls are to improve clinical trials success rate, deliver clinical proof of concept, biomarkers and new medicines.

IMI-Train In September 2014 IMI-TRAIN, an IMI/ENSO-funded education and training collaboration to support biomedical scientists and professionals, has been launched. IMI-TRAIN will serve as a collaboration platform for the currently IMI-funded education and training projects:

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking

In research: Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics European Union health policy, European Union technology policy, Horizon 2020 projects, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
