ProgrammesThe foresight study "Future Research and Technology infrastructures for Europe" is financed by the European Commission (DG RTD) and carried out by Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Technopolis Consulting Group Belgium, and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The study was granted under the multi-year framework contract Foresight on Demand. More informatin about FoD is available here and about the foresight study here.
The goal of the foresight study is to identify and explore possible scenarios for a future “pan-European ecosystem of research and technology infrastructures”. Specifically, the following objectives will be addressed:
1. Identify the trends, megatrends and weak signals for the long-term evolution, potentials and needs of RTI from a European perspective.
2. Proposal of plausible scenarios for RTIs, that consider European RTIs in their ecosystems and their contribution to European scientific and technological competitiveness.
3. Map the implications of the identified trends and proposed scenarios for European RTIs governance and policy, mainly from an EU perspective.
During the first phase of this project that will run untill the end of 2026, the European Research and Technology Infrastructure stakeholders will be mapped. Therefore, the project team invites stakeholders interested in the study or willing to participate in the project workshops and events to reach out to matthias.deschryvere@vtt.fi and simone.kimpeler@isi.fraunhofer.de.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
