What do we expect

• Small size of IPG limits ambitious projects
• Money hardly increases
• RIIP used as a lever to raise money
• Ambitious public health programs with fondamental,

applied and translational reseach projects

• Complementarity of RIIP teams instead of duplication in

different countries
