Joint Research Roadmap

Joint Research Roadmap on how to preserve fundamental rights in the design and use of digital technologies for e-health services will be elaborated and signed in M25.The roadmap will define, in a 5-year framework, the future research lines and initiatives to be jointly conducted by the project partners within the research area of the project. This document will also illustrate the interdisciplinary and integrated approach used within the project and will highlight how to integrate in the above mentioned research, crucial aspects related to gender, research integrity, stakeholder engagement and ethical issues. The Joint Research Roadmap will guarantee sustainability of joint collaboration among project partners, also beyond the end of project, by indicating the national and EU funding opportunities to be grasped to financially sustain the joint collaboration (including the structural funds).Among others, the document will comprise an action plan aiming to boost international exposure and mobility of senior researchers and ESRs after the end of the project. The action plan will include for example: joint co–supervision of PhD students; mobility flow of senior researchers as visiting professors; mobility flow to be conducted by PhD students during their doctoral programmes. The possibilities given by the Marie Curie Action schemes (mainly CO-FUND and RISE) will be carefully analyzed by the partnership and identified in the Roadmap.Lastly, the Roadmap will include a specific section comprising recommendations and suggestions for the UMCS leadership, regarding how to reshape all the university’s research themes according to a challenge-oriented approach, by valorizing internationalization, intersectoriality, interdisciplinarity, attention to ESRs’ training, also with reference to transversal skills. To this end at least 6 internal meetings with UMCS leadership will be arranged by the Scientific Coordinator in order to share the document before its finalisation.
