We are

The Innovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking (IMI JU) is a public-private partnership between the European Commission and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries Associations (EFPIA). The IMI JU is established in Brussels under European law (1) for a period up to 31 December 2017. The IMI JU will implement a Joint Technology Initiative aiming to establish Europe (Member States and countries associated to the Seventh EC Research Framework Programme) as the most attractive place for biopharmaceutical research and development.

The objective of the IMI JU is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the drug development process with the long-term aim that the pharmaceutical sector produces more effective and safer innovative medicines.

The IMI JU will support pre-competitive pharmaceutical research and development by pooling resources from the public and private sectors and by fostering collaboration between stakeholders (including: industry, academia, SMEs, regulatory authorities, healthcare providers, patient organisations). The IMI JU will organise competitive calls for proposals in order to support these research activities.

Research activities supported by the IMI JU will deliver new approaches, methods and technologies, improve knowledge management of research data, and support the training of professionals.

The IMI JU activities will engage EUR 2 billion for the period 2008–2017, including (i) a contribution from the European Community to the IMI Joint Undertaking not exceeding EUR 1 billion from the Seventh Framework Programme, and (ii) a contribution from EFPIA and research based pharmaceutical companies that are members of EFPIA of at least EUR 1 billion.

We are

The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking (Clean Sky JU) is a public-private partnership between the European Commission and the European Aviation Industry Stakeholders. The Clean Sky JU is established in Brussels under European law (1) for a period up to 31 December 2017. The Clean Sky JU will implement a Joint Technology Initiative aiming at developing low environmental impact technologies for the Air Transport system in line with the Strategic Research Agenda for Aeronautics.

The Clean Sky JU is an objective-driven initiative targeting the environmental impact of the Air Transport System by reducing CO2 and NOx emissions, noise and fuel consumption. It will deliver full scale ground and in-flight demonstrators across the main flying segments and subsystems for fast and effective introduction of new technology in the new generation of aircrafts.

The Clean Sky JU will be one of the largest European research projects ever. The Public Private Partnership will speed up technological breakthrough developments and shorten the time to market for new solutions tested on Full Scale Demonstrators. Clean Sky will encourage the participation of SMEs to ensure their full involvement in the programme and offering opportunities to the entire aeronautic supply chain from all Member States and Associated countries. Within the scope of achieving the final deliverables, the Clean Sky JU will organise competitive calls for proposals playing an essential role achieving the objectives.

The Clean Sky JU activities will engage up to EUR 1,6 billion for the period 2008–2017, including (i) a contribution (in cash) from the European Community to the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking not exceeding EUR 800 million from the Seventh Framework Programme, and (ii) an equivalent contribution in-kind from the aeronautical stakeholders. Running costs of the Clean Sky JU will be shared equally and in cash between the Commission on one side and other Members on the other.
