Best Practices

As a rule, calls for tender for projects funded in the framework of PCP/PPI have no thematic restrictions and come from the following areas:

  • Health
  • Security
  • IT
  • Energy
  • Transport
  • Research infrastructures

Please find below examples of ongoing and completed projects.

Health care

Empowering Patients by Professional Stress Avoidance & Recovery Services (STARS) aims to develop ICT solutions for hospitals: state-of-the-art technology should be used to prevent stress and thus speed up the recovery of patients. More information...
