Competitive Research Directorate For a better organization of its resources, the VHIR has created a new Competitive Projects Area. The mission of this Directorate is to attract and manage competitive funds/resources, guaranteeing compliance with the scientific and economic milestones of the projects and, therefore, to contribute to the VHIR's institutional and international positioning strategy and sustainability, in line with the priorities of the Institutional Strategic Plan. Moreover, the Competitive Projects Area centralizes and coordinates the management of national and international projects creating new alliances and leveraging the existing ones such as the European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA), the European Infrastructure for Translational Medicine (EATRIS) and the European Clinical Research Infrastructure (ECRIN) amongst others.
