HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01-STAYHLTH-01: Abordar la discapacidad a lo largo del curso de vida para fomentar la vida independiente y la inclusión

A Romanian public university with multidisciplinary expertise in physical activity, rehabilitation, healthy ageing, quality of life, functional assessment and digital/mobile health is interested in joining or co-developing consortia for HORIZON-HLTH-2027-01-STAYHLTH-01.
The university can contribute to research design and methodology, intervention development and evaluation, participant assessment, data collection, validation, evidence synthesis, pilot implementation and dissemination. Relevant expertise includes physical activity and exercise-based interventions, rehabilitation, functional and health assessment, healthy and active ageing, quality-of-life outcomes, wearable-supported monitoring and digital/mobile health research.
The team can support feasibility, usability, acceptability and health-outcome evaluation of person-centred and technology-supported interventions. It is particularly interested in projects addressing disability across the life course, independent living, social inclusion, prevention of secondary health problems, rehabilitation and maintenance or improvement of functional capacity.
The university is open to joining established consortia or contributing from the early proposal-development stage. Depending on the project structure, it can lead or co-lead research, evaluation, pilot or validation tasks and, where appropriate, work packages.
Potential partners include universities, research institutes, hospitals, rehabilitation providers, public health authorities, organisations representing people with disabilities, living labs, SMEs and technology companies. Complementary expertise in assistive technologies, digital health, AI, health data, clinical research, healthcare delivery, pilot implementation and exploitation is particularly welcome.
