​Funding Partners​
 

SUMMIT is funded by IMI, which is a public/private partnership between the European Commission (EC) and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). Each of the partners contributes with one billion EURO to the IMI budget for research grants. While the budget allocated by the EC will be exclusively awarded to beneficiaries from the public sector and to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), EFPIA partners will meet their budgetary obligations through in-kind contributions.
