Indo-Sweden grant for projects that bring AI into healthcare

A grant has been announced jointly by the governments of India (Department of Biotechnology) and Sweden (Vinnova) for projects that seek to bring in healthcare solutions using Artificial Intelligence. The projects must have potential to improve public health, nursing or care in India and Sweden. 

These projects may focus on such things as disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, improved medicines and vaccines, nursing or care.  

The project duration may be up to three years and should start no later than 31st of January 2021. The last date for submission of application is August 28, 2020. This call addresses groupings of at least two project partners of differing expertise; AI plus healthcare, nursing or care. The grants must be jointly applied for by Indian and Swedish partners.  

Applicants are welcome from all sectors. This might include companies, universities, county councils and municipalities. 

At least one ‘requirement owner’ should be included as a project partner in the group. In this call, a requirement owner means someone who needs the solution which the project intends to develop. The requirement owner is responsible for the solution corresponding to a genuine need and that the solution can be implemented within the allotted duration of the project. Users, customers, patients and the public sector are examples of possible requirement owners. 

The grants are given both by India and Sweden.
