European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs)

About this programme

A European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) is a single entity or a coordinated group of entities with complementary expertise and a not-for-profit objective to support on a large scale the digital transformation of SMEs and mid-caps, and/or public sector organisations. EDIHs provide services such as

  • testing before investing,
  • training and skills development,
  • support to find investments,
  • networking, and access to innovation ecosystems.

The initial network of EDIHs was established through a two-step selection process. First, Member States designated EDIH candidates through a national process. Secondly, the European Commission launched restricted calls for proposals in which only designated EDIH candidates were eligible to participate.

Under the main work programme 2025-2027, in their second phase of operations, EDIHs will focus on AI technologies that offer opportunities for growth and competitiveness and provide a first-line AI help desk to businesses and public sector organisations.

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
