Interconnecting Innovation Ecosystems for Common European Data Space in Health (EDAH)
The aim of the project is to foster the dialogue and development towards more inclusive, dynamic, (gender) diverse and interconnected innovation ecosystems in Europe to reach the European common data space in health.
About
The EDAH will be developed between 2022 and 2024, supported around the four following goals:
- Ensuring a coherent overview of the ongoing strategic developments related to the European Health Data Space (EU level policy processes, important initiatives and projects) and developing a deeper understanding of seven important EU ecosystems (innovation agendas and ecosystem stakeholders) represented by clusters/networks from Bulgaria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
- Setting up a coordination mechanism to connect important stakeholders from innovation ecosystems all around Europe and engage them in focused dialogue around key challenges and opportunities related to advancing the EHDS.
- Scaling up the dialogue at the EU level via developing further collaboration pathways with EU presidencies.
- Developing, validating and finalizing the Joint Action Plan for synergetic work in the interconnected ecosystems of EU health-related clusters/networks (facilitated by the dialogue mechanisms and collaboration frameworks developed in this project) to jointly advance the development of the EHDS. The JAP will define a collaboration framework for 5 years after the project (2024-2029) and identify potential funding leverages to implement the envisioned activities and foster sustainable collaboration of the interconnected innovation ecosystems to introduct the EHDS.
