Transforming Health & Care Systems (THCS)

Partnership website: https://www.thcspartnership.eu/
The partnership aims to contribute to the transition towards more sustainable, resilient, innovative and high-quality people-centred health and care systems. The partnership started its activities in January 2023. Flanders is actively involved.

The European Partnership 'Transforming Health & Care Systems' (THCS) pools a critical mass of European, national,  and regional and international scientific resources to address more efficiently  similar challenges faced by  health and care systems in Europe and beyond.

The partnership aims to create new knowledge and scientific evidence but also to co-design new solutions & support their transfer and scale-up across countries and regions.

The THCS consortium is mainly composed of a network of Ministries of Research & Innovation, Research & Innovation Funding Organisations and Ministries of Health or Regional Health & Care Authorities. It gathers partners from 64 organisations established in 23 EU Members States and associated countries.

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
