Back to #Brussels today for the EOSC4Cancer stakeholder workshop 🔔 Interesting discussion and a lot of brainstorming on the challenges ahead for cancer data sharing, nicely led by Carola Schulz and Daniel Barrowdale providing feedback to the Cancer Data Space Roadmap. I was presenting the SHINE 2Europe approach for clustering #ethical challenges on digital and #AI health with some specific examples from the projects RadioVal and Liveration. It was very nice to have a wide representation from patients, industry, policy and researchers and a great Portuguese representation Tamara Hussong Milagre and Oriana Sousa 🙂 Thanks for this nice invitation Carola!

KICK-OFF of the #FITT-NESS project in Porto📣 These last two days were rich and engaging while we kicked-off this new project: FITT-NESS – Fostering Innovation and the Twin Transition for Inclusive Environments and Smart Homes FITT-NESS started this month and was now officially launched at a partner meeting nicely hosted by the Universidade do Porto, on 28-29 November, which included a networking event, the FITT-NESS Community Workshop, where I shared outputs and insights from SIRENE, NET4Age-Friendly and the #DESIRE projects. SHINE 2Europe is leading WP2 on Capacity Building and Training in this new project coordinated by Universidade do Porto - Elísio Costa, with partners APIMA - Associação Portuguesa das Indústrias de Mobiliário e Afins (Portugal), CETEM - Centro Tecnológico del Mueble y la Madera and AMUEBLA (Spain), FederlegnoArredo and CEIPES ETS (Italy) and F6S (Ireland). This multidisciplinary team provides the essential knowledge and expertise to ensure FITT-NESS successfully impacts the furniture sector with cutting-edge practices and technologies - and having good working friends involved always help!! Over the next two years, the project aims to create new business opportunities and equip furniture for companies for a digital and green transition, focusing on promoting smart homes, age-friendly environments, and sustainable/eco-housing. Key activities include mapping and analysing capabilities, market trends, challenges, opportunities, and barriers in the furniture sector across the consortium’s four regions; upskilling the workforce; providing comprehensive advisory and business support services; and strengthening connections within regional innovation ecosystems. FITT-NESS is financed by the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument.
