Programmes Digital, Industry & Space AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologiesThe OpenVerse project aims at integrating knowledge, experts and actors around the creation of inclusive, open and ethically responsible European Virtual Worlds. This is done in alignment with the European Commission’s strategy on Web 4.0 and Virtual Worlds.
As part its work, OpenVerse is conducting a landscaping exercise of initiatives that promote the uptake of Virtual Worlds technologies in each EU Member State. If you are involved in or aware of any Virtual World / Metaverse / Extended Reality initiative in Flanders, please contact Mattia Trino of the Big Data Value Association.
As a follow up, OpenVerse is planning a workshop on 22 January 2025, with the aim of reuniting all the initiatives and discuss together collaboration opportunities and the next steps that can be taken by this growing community!

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.
