Health Economics for Policy Impact

Health economics is crucial for improving health and socioeconomic outcomes by studying the interactions between individuals, healthcare providers, and clinical settings. The EU’s strategy with Africa focuses on strengthening population health and health systems while promoting health policy processes in the region. The EU-funded HEPI project will leverage the ELIXIR research infrastructure to enhance scientific collaboration between Europe and Africa in health economics. It will establish Health Economics Communities of Practice in East and West Africa, align academic and political infrastructures, lay the foundation for sharing materials, methods, and data between Europe and Africa, and support higher education institutions in training highly skilled professionals proficient in health economics methods.

EOSC4Cancer

Cancer research is extensive, yet the translation of key findings into new diagnostic and treatment innovations is slow. We need to overcome this fragmentation for the benefit of European citizens. Moreover, the introduction of data science and machine learning technologies to assist the analysis of large clinical and molecular datasets requires concerted efforts across different institutions and countries. To facilitate this cooperation, the EU-funded EOSC4Cancer project aims to establish a pan-European infrastructure that integrates cancer research-related data and makes it accessible for analysis across borders. The project will combine data from patient diagnosis to treatment, laying the groundwork for future cancer projects.
