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.

Participation Flanders

Flanders is represented in the consortium by the Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship (VLAIO). Located in Flanders & interested to participate? Find out more on the dedicated VLAIO webpage.

Who can participate in Flanders? The target group is broad. All Flemish companies (both SMEs and large companies) that want to carry out a challenging and risky R&D project together with foreign companies, healthcare organizations and/or knowledge institutions can submit a project proposal.
