This proposal for a European Cancer Patient Digital Centre (ECPDC) Information Portal, EU-CIP, addresses the information needs of cancer patients, survivors, relatives, and caregivers. EU-CIP aims to create a patient-centric cancer information portal that improves health literacy, empowers patients, and reduces inequalities in access to cancer care information across Europe. The EU-CIP primary goal is to improve quality of life and enhance cancer patient care by improving access to general and personalized knowledge, delivering comprehensive information on cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment options including risks, side effects and late effects as well as information on rehabilitation and management of recurrence and palliative care. EU-CIP will prioritise high-incidence cancers, those with poor prognosis, and paediatric cancers. A Common Library of Contents available to all Member States will be created and EU-CIP nodes will be deployed in 10 Member States. The Library of Contents will use information from evidence-based sources such as the Knowledge Centre on Cancer and the European Cancer Information Service, existing Cancer Information Portals, and European guidelines. A governance framework for scalable content creation and review processes supported by AI tooling will be established. The consortium partners, including several patient organisations, will ensure that the patients’ view is reflected in the content review and technology usability aspects. The EU-CIP Central and local nodes will be built in a modular fashion to allow integration with existing electronic health infrastructures. To align with the EU Cancer Mission goal to improve lives through prevention, EU-CIP will raise awareness about the Mission and Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. Alignment with the Mission’s overall plans will be realized through collaboration with the EU funded projects of the related 01-01/01-02 calls.

The European Digital Humanism Initiative (EUDHIT) aims to promote the creation of a more resilient, inclusive, and democratic society that fully aligns with the principles of Digital Humanism. It builds on previous work and EU policies including within the Digital Decade programme. EUDHIT will help realizing the EU Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles. EUDHIT assembles DigHum organisations, experts, networks, and other communities that help realize the vision. It supports industry on its path to creating, maintaining, and taking-up successful IT systems realizing the principles of digital humanism with concrete frameworks, standards, and tools. It helps policymakers in supporting conditions fruitful for digital humanism and in developing a prosperous society with the help of digital humanism know-how. It facilitates digital humanism innovation in startups and other businesses, guides IT investments towards digital humanism technologies and makes progress towards these objectives measurable with metrics and indicators. EUDHIT joins ICT experts, scholars from sociology, economy, social innovation, law, ethics, anthropology, business and innovation studies and other disciplines into cross-disciplinary working groups on challenging open issues of digital humanism. EUDHIT delivers frameworks, capabilities, tools, and recommendations to help realise a societally beneficial digital world to overcome today’s situation that leading researchers and intellectuals perceive as problematic, detrimental to European values and to social achievements. Also, EUDHIT facilitates access to experts, know-how, training, and support for industry, intermediaries, and policy makers.

The overall goal of our project is to achieve trust in a data-driven food system by implementing Digital Responsibility Goals for the food sector. This will enable new levels of innovation for example in food safety, sustainability, personalized nutrtion, reduction of food waste and fair conditions throughout the entire food chain. The programme works on a clear strategic roadmap (a new virtual food system), a set technological enablers, demonstration of solutions, a structured funding programme with open calls, and measures to guide and support the food ecosystem of third party beneficiaries, citizens, stakeholders. As a consortium, we maintain the perspective that technology is not a means to an end, but acts merely as an empowering enabler, providing the means to achieve a wide variety of innovative and valuable use cases. Use cases that promise to serve a broader audience, provided that adequate access also is considered as a prerequisite. Currently however, technology is primarily developed from the perspective and needs of corporations and / or authorities- a limitation that risks perpetuating or further exacerbating the above-mentioned lack of trust within the markets that they serve. With a more diverse and human-centric driven perspective we believe the new use cases that will emerge and the technology development required to realise them will contribute to a more sustainable ecosystem that is “trustworthy by default”. To truly design for trust, the entire chain of activities and underlying assumptions towards developing technology has to be based on fundamental values like responsibility, privacy and user control - especially when dealing with valuable and sensitive food data. The starting point of all assumptions needs to be the user and their values - not a business model or (legitimate) state interests.
