We invite applicants to take a look at the project ideas collected in the LBG OIS “Ideas Box”. There you find problems in the field of health that can only be solved through the cooperation of those affected, interest groups and researchers.
You can take up the problems listed there in your project or be inspired by them for your own project. In addition, for many of the published ideas there are contact persons who have submitted the idea and can thus be potential partners for the project submission. The team at the OIS Centre will be happy to establish contact in these cases.
