Objective
SENSO-TWIN is a Twinning action designed to strengthen the scientific excellence, international connectivity and research management capacity of the Laboratory of Public Health, Epidemiology and Quality of Life at the University of Patras (UPAT), a Widening Country institution, in the strategically important field of pediatric environmental health. The project uses pediatric asthma as a training and demonstration domain to advance UPAT’s ability to conduct interdisciplinary, socially grounded environmental health research aligned with European priorities on health inequalities, urban health and prevention of non-communicable diseases. Rather than pursuing large-scale epidemiological generalisation, SENSO-TWIN deploys a targeted research demonstrator (the SENSOR pilot) as a structured learning platform through which advanced methodologies, interdisciplinary integration and professional research management practices are transferred from internationally leading partner institutions.
Through a structured Twinning programme combining researcher mobility, expert mentoring, joint scientific agenda setting and hands-on methodological training, SENSO-TWIN strengthens UPAT’s capacity in exposome-based exposure assessment, social epidemiology, causal analysis and SSH integration. In parallel, the project delivers a systematic upgrade of institutional research management capacity, fully aligned with the European Competence Framework for Research Managers, ensuring sustainable improvements beyond the project lifetime. By embedding knowledge transfer directly into real research and management processes, SENSO-TWIN enhances the research profile, attractiveness and competitiveness of the coordinating institution, while establishing durable strategic partnerships with leading European research organisations.
