Project description
Researcher exchange to boost health-oriented technologies
Digital technologies are advancing rapidly into the realm of health systems. From the use of virtual reality to monitor vital signs to telemedicine, digital technologies are changing how health services are delivered. Within this context, preserving patients’ fundamental rights is a top priority. The EU-funded REINITIALISE project will assist Poland’s Maria Curie-Skłodowska University to innovate in the preservation of fundamental rights in the design and use of digital technologies for e-health services. The focus of this twinning initiative, which brings together researchers from Italy and Belgium, will be on health-oriented technologies for active ageing and prevention care in the sectors of nutrition and dietetics. The project will set up staff exchanges for senior and early stage researchers, academic symposiums, job shadowing and cross-functional mentoring.
Objective
REINITIALISE aims to strengthen scientific excellence and innovation capacity at UMCS (PL) in the field of preservation of fundamental rights in the design and use of digital technologies and digital communication for e-health services, with a specific focus on a) health-oriented technologies for active ageing, and b) prevention care in the sectors of nutrition and dietetics. Within this overall objective, REINITIALISE also aims to increase the capacity to attract and successfully manage EU funds at UMCS, and to involve, train and mentor Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs).
The twinning exercise carried out by REINITIALISE defines and implements a scientific strategy and a process of knowledge transfer which leverages on excellence of KUL (BE), UNIMC (IT), and EUC (IT), as well as on complementarities and synergies among Smart Specialization Strategies of the 3 regions involved.
To achieve these goals, REINITIALISE puts together a comprehensive plan of collaborative activities, characterized by:
- attention to reinforce the strategic thinking capacities of UMCS;
- a highly interdisciplinary approach, supported by the integration between social sciences and humanities and technology;
- a constant and active involvement of different stakeholders and the business community;
- an ad hoc training and mentoring for ESRs;
- an ad hoc training on EU project design and management of EU funds.
The plan of collaborative activities includes: staff exchanges for senior researchers and ESRs, academic symposiums, job shadowing and cross functional mentoring, showcase events, lunch & learn events, summer and winter schools, Venture Lab.
With regard to the Work Programme, REINITIALISE contributes to the reduction of internal disparities in the EU in terms of R&I performances, by focusing on UMCS and leading it towards a pathway of excellence. Also the Lubelskie region, where UMCS is based, will benefit from the project especially in terms of opportunities for socio-economic growth.
