Supporting your scientific journey from science to medicine

Do you have a scientific idea that could change the treatment of a disease, but key data to validate your hypothesis are missing?

We offer

• An easy partnership application process without lengthy proposals (only 1-2 pages)

• Funding of up to 50,000 Euros to perform key experiments to validate your translational idea (6-9 months); joint proposal calls with partners on specific topics with matched funding opportunities (up to 100,000 Euros)

  • all proposals in NN’s remit of therapeutic/technology areas will be considered
  • applications will be evaluated on an ongoing basis; funding of up to 50K

• an extraordinary validatioNN call in collaboration with a partner organisation will open in Q1/2023

  • applications will be evaluated based on link to a topic of interest:

1st call: Novel target mechanisms for diabetes and cardiometabolic comorbidities (e.g. heart, liver, kidney disease)

  • Potential matched funding opportunity (from NN + partner) of up to €100K

Co-creating with you because…

Together, we can develop tomorrow’s medicines. No organisation can be strong in all disciplines. Through scientific openness, we co create breakthrough concepts in exploratory fields unknown to us. We could also complement your capabilities by connecting ideas and teams to a breadth of experienced specialists in our Global R&D organisation, which has brought innovative cardiometabolic therapies through development for almost 100 years.

Collaborations are defined by your science and your team. There is not one size which fits all partnerships. We can adapt how we work together to best develop your idea. Sharing your breakthrough concepts with someone you don't know can be frightening. We promise never to compromise on business ethics. No matter if there is a good match or not, we will connect and share our honest advice for your continued journey.
