iNavigate, a Marie-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) consortium, brings together scientists and engineers in academic, private and NGO enterprises. Its goal is to promote international and intersectoral cooperation for the next generation, brain-inspired technologies to facilitate the development of intelligent navigation and autonomous mobility solutions. The consortium exploits the complementary competencies of its members while creating synergy through research, innovation, staff exchange and transfer of knowledge. It actively promotes networking, knowledge utilization and dissemination through summer schools, workshops, conferences, and facilitates new skill acquisition and career development in research, innovation and commercialization.
suHCO will address the common challenge of transitioning the healthcare sector to sustainability by procuring a horizontal digital planning and execution-driven system. Suppliers will be requested to embrace and integrate multiple technologies and the latest research in AI, platform, behavioural and economic sciences. The Buyers Group represents three major markets (ES, IT, UK) and the full diversity of EU health care systems (central procurement, hospitals, care homes, surgeries, home care etc.). Leading research organisations on sustainability, logistics and PCPs in healthcare and digital innovation are supporting. The group has already started to recruit a Follower Network. The suHCO-system is to empower all types of Health Care Organisations(HCOs) and their staff to design, plan, implement and act sustainably more easily, quickly and widely. It is to cover four areas of need: 1) to help HCOs and users to understand the growing number of vertical sustainable practices and solutions already available (information); 2) to develop and implement an effective sustainability strategy based on opportunities for impact given the local circumstances (operation); 3) to facilitate all necessary interactions with stakeholders such as health decision-makers and product and service providers (organisation); 4) to change the mindset and upskill administration, end-users and SMEs. The system will adopt to the local regulatory requirements.It will be scalable and can implemented by individual HCOs or entire health systems. suHCO will be modular allowing specialised software companies to embed components into existing solutions. Uptake will rapidly grow the market for sustainable solutions and provide new opportunities for innovative SMEs and start-ups. Advancing the sustainable transition of healthcare will reduce the need for virgin materials, reduce waste and pollution. suHCO advances the One Health Approach through direct impact and high replicability in developing countries.
