Horizon Europe

The European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG R&I) has launched a study to gain “a better understanding of, first, knowledge ecosystems across the European Research Area (ERA) and, second, the interactions between its actors (both organisations and individuals) with a view of formulating policy recommendations for the strengthening of these ecosystems.” The study runs from January 2021 to April 2022.

As part of this study a questionnaire is currently open on the topic “Jobs in research: skills, social security and working conditions”. This questionnaire is addressed to researchers and remains open until 17 May. The questionnaire can be found here as well as an introduction and endorsement letter from the European Commission on the background and aims of the two-year study.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

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.
