On 13 June 2023, the DigitalHealthUptake project launched its Call for Twinnings, offering a great opportunity for organisations to transform healthcare across Europe. Interested parties can apply until 13 September 2024 to be part of the nearly €100,000 available to support multiple twinning initiatives. 

But what exactly is a Twinning?

It’s a mechanism designed to transfer and implement innovative digital health practices from one region/country to another. The goal is to share knowledge and skills from the Twinning Originator to the Twinning Adopter(s), enabling them to utilize innovative solutions for improving health and care services. 

The goal of DigitalHealthUptake’s Call for Twinning, running from 13 June 2023 to 13 September 2023, is to provide funding for Twinning Solutions. A budget of €96,000 has been allocated to fund 12 potential Twinnings to stimulate knowledge exchange, training, digital know-how transfer, and the adoption of innovative practices between European regions and countries. 

What types of twinning solutions are being funded? 

Twinning solutions should address policy priorities and be evidence-based, innovative digital products, services, processes, methodologies, strategies, or business models. The topics of this call are focused on solutions for citizens/patients or care practitioners, such as digital tools for health education, mHealth systems, patient feedback tools, and telemedicine.
