What is EUTOPIA Health?
EUTOPIA_Health is a 5-year project that aims at facilitating institutional transformations and to spearhead academic excellence and innovation in health-related domains. The project targets specifically three Widening countries (Romania, Slovenia, Portugal) that have traditionally lagged behind in European Research & Innovation programs, with the aim of strengthening their profiles by overcoming funding and publication disparities. As such, EUTOPIA_Health will facilitate changes in the academic landscape within the European health research area. The activities planned in EUTOPIA_Health are multifaceted, and include, among others: webinars on EU funding and technology transfer; mobility programs; transdisciplinary training activities; and mentorship. The project has received funding from the European Commission as part of its WIDERA program (Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence), which contributes to building research & innovation capacity.
What will be the role of the imπACT Management Team in the project?
The imπACT Management Team will contribute to Work Package 3 by delivering Grant Writing Workshops and setting up an intensive support system to guide researchers in Romania, Slovenia, and Portugal towards the submission of a collaborative EU proposal. On 14-15 February, at the project’s kick-off meeting, three members of our imπACT Management Team (Mohammad, Cristina, and Marie) have presented the timeline of activities to be realized in the 5 upcoming years.
