AMR-EDUCare, EduCation on Antimicrobial REsistance for the health workforce, targets the prevention and reduction of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)’s health burden by filling educational gaps on AMR for both clinical and non-clinical health workforce. Southern and Eastern European countries, where the incidence of AMR is highest, are also those where there is a particular deficit in training on AMR prevention. For this reason, the project will target countries in these geographical areas. Through a nimble and relevant educational programme targeting four audiences - doctors, nurses, community pharmacists and health management professionals - the project will equip the health workforce with the necessary knowledge and skills to address AMR in the areas of prescription, waste management and patient empowerment. The training modules developed and delivered will adopt a strong focus on behavioural change and digital health skills for a more resilient and sustainable healthcare sector that improves the patient experience and delivers better health outcomes.

De que modo as associações voluntárias-populares contribuem para o desenvolvimento local? Este projeto de investigação analisará o contributo do associativismo voluntário-popular para o processo de desenvolvimento dos territórios e das comunidades, a partir de um estudo comparativo dos concelhos do Barreiro e de Loures, entre 1960-2021. Mobilizando a problemática da ação coletiva, continuada e organizada, em relação com os processos de desenvolvimento local e mudança social, pretende-se estudar as dinâmicas de ação coletiva associativa portuguesa, através de um duplo enfoque: (i) a escala mesossocial e as associações; (ii) a escala microssocial e os dirigentes associativos. Pretende-se contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento teórico-empírico sobre o associativismo popular e para a caracterização das suas organizações. Para isso, empreender-se-á uma estratégia metodológica mista, com recurso à aplicação de inquéritos por questionário às associações, realização de entrevistas em profundidade aos dirigentes e a pesquisa documental.

EDITS III é um projeto conjunto entre o DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte (D'C) e o Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) com o objetivo de colaborar na análise empírica e modelizadora de novas tendências disruptivas de inovação tecnológica e social para reduzir a procura de energia.

Nepalese Education in E-health - Master (NEEM) targets the shortage of specialists in health information systems in Nepal through establishing two master programmes at Kathmandu University and Pokhara University. Each programme will admit 10 students the first year and expand to 20 over a two years period. The programmes will include a lab where research students will collaborate with the Ministry of Health and other Nepalese organisations on health information systems in Nepal and which be developed into a model for the Provincial Health Information Hubs envisaged by the MoH. The labs will also be used for in-service training of health personnel. The European partners University of Oslo (UiO) and The University Institute of Lisbon have long experience in working with partners in LMICs and Europe on eHealth. The University of Oslo is also involved in projects for course development with partners in India and Africa, and course material developed in these projects will be used as a basis and adapted for Kathmandu and Pokhara universities. Eight lecturers from the Nepalese partners will be funded by the project for PhD education; one at UiO and seven at Indian universities which UiO collaborates with in academic projects in the health information systems area. Eight master students will do exchange visits between Nepal and Europe, and scholarships will be awarded to four female master students in Nepal. Expected impacts are that the master programmes will continue running after project funding ceases, that Kathmandu and Pokhara universities attract collaborative projects in Nepal and internationally, and that master programme graduates gain skills which are useful in their work.
