As part of the exploitation activities carried out and promoted by Cittadinanzattiva within the EU-funded NUDGE project, four articles were published by the media partner Innovation News Network. To read them, click here: A – B – C -D.
They will also be included, along with other content, in a special issue entitled "Exploiting behavioral insights for energy transition" that will be published in the coming months.
Here is the video, produced as a follow-up to events held in Brussels in October and November.
In addition, Cittadinanzattiva has applied to realize a policy session - in the context of European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2024 - entitled "Fostering EU citizen action for the energy transition: from recommendations to concrete experiences."
The Kick-off meeting of the EU4Health funded co-OPERATOR consortium, in which Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network is officially involved, was held on January 17 and 18, 2024, at the Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol. We look forward to the synergies, research evidence, and initiatives that will take place over the next three years that will enable the development of a virtual observatory for the country to share best practices in immunization promotion and build a healthier future!
The meeting was preceded by the conference "Insight into vaccination hesitancy," where the director of Active Citizenship Network discussed the theme "Active citizens in Europe advocate for vaccination." Read more and watch the video.
BioReCer aims to ensure the environmental performance and traceability of biological waste feedstock used by the bio-based industries (forestry, agriculture, fisheries, waste-water), deploying guidelines to strengthen the current certification schemes. Daniela Quaggia from Cittadinanzattiva APS answered questions about why stakeholder involvement is indispensable for the success of BioReCer and why stakeholders profit from their participation in the project's stakeholders platform.

We are thrilled to share the success of the first annual stakeholders meeting for the Biological Resources Certifications Schemes (BioReCer) project that took place online on 13 November 2023. During this engaging event - promoted by ACN - stakeholders from the BioReCer Stakeholders Platform (BRSP) gained valuable insights into the results and ongoing developments of the project. The discussions included a deep dive into material flows of #biobased #waste #biomass and sustainability indicators for the respective value chains. BioReCer aims to assess and complement current certification schemes for biological resources in alignment with the new EU sustainability goals, enhancing bio-based circular systems (read more on these factsheets in different languages). If you're interested in becoming a stakeholder and contributing to these discussions, register here for the BioResources Stakeholders Platform (BRSP). If you missed this event but are eager to join future discussions and stay informed about upcoming events, we invite you to visit BioReCer website.
Every year 900,000 people die prematurely in the EU due to disease risk factors that can be prevented through a shift from the treatment of established diseases to a “person-centered” disease prevention and early diagnosis practice. Although prevention is nowadays a high priority at EU level, personalised preventive strategies are not as widely used as other personalised medicine approaches. To address this gap, as consortium member of PROPHET, we invite you to participate in a survey about the perceived barriers, challenges and enablers for the adoption of personalised prevention strategies in EU and beyond. You can access the survey here.
The 2023 annual meeting of PROPHET took place at the Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe (CIPF) in Valencia, Spain. Project partners gathered to explore the progress of this groundbreaking initiative, expertly coordinated by Stefania Boccia from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC). During the plenary session on the second day, partners concluded discussions on project advancements, emphasizing collaboration and shared insights. The morning session focused on mapping results in basic and transnational sciences within Personalised Prevention. The afternoon featured the PROPHET Stakeholder Sessions, where external participants joined onsite and online. As a member of the consortium, Cittadinanzattiva - Active Citizenship Network actively contributed to the event, representing the citizens' perspective. These interactive sessions facilitated fruitful discussions and valuable inputs, shaping the ongoing development of the PROPHET.EU project. We are excited to help advance the field of Personalised Prevention.

The NIGHTINGALE project conducted a mass casualty incident drill in Novara from 18 to 20 October 2023. The exercise aimed to put innovative technologies developed by NIGHTINGALE partners to the test in controlled but realistic conditions of mass casualty incidents, including such situations as terrorist attacks, building collapse, and transportation incidents.
A diverse group of volunteers, civil protection agencies, such as emergency medical services, fire brigades, and police, as well as civic volunteers, including members of Cittadinanzattiva -ACN, participated in the exercise. They tested the NIGHTINGALE tools and provided valuable feedback on how these technologies can enhance prehospital triage during mass casualty incidents. The technologies that were tested included emergency mobile applications for citizens, mobile applications for digital patient monitoring and tracking, incident management and command and control solutions, a next generation Public Safety Answering Point, a thermographic scanning system, and drones.
The second General Assembly of FACILITATE, with ACN among the key partners, was held in December at the Université de Bordeaux, offering two impactful days of discussions and collaborative workshops. The event started with an engaging panel discussion on data typologies: what did Clinical Trial data mean for each stakeholder (patients, investigators, sponsors)? What could we actually do? What formats did we need? What should we create as new? These questions fostered an insightful discussion and paved the way for actionable steps in understanding and optimizing data within the clinical trial landscape. Then, participants delved into the FACILITATE Return of Data user journey. Actionable approaches were explored to enhance the data journey, building on initial interoperability and architecture design work. During the “Communication & Dissemination Plan 2024” session, the team strategized the Plan for 2024 to share the impact and progress of FACILITATE with a broader audience. As the General Assembly concluded, the commitment to communication, empowerment, and advancing clinical trials remained at the forefront. The focus extended beyond information to training, aiming to disclose clinical trials, explain the importance of data sharing to participants, and promote its role in advancing science. Stay tuned for more updates as FACILITATE continues its journey of knowledge-sharing and empowerment. Join our pool of stakeholders here.
The European research project NUDGE, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 research programme, investigated how intelligent behavioural nudges can be used to encourage consumers to save energy. On the occasion of the final event, organized in Brussels on 6 November in cooperation with the Baden-Württemberg Delegation to the European Union, the consumer perspective was represented by Anastasia Chatzipavlou, Director of EEKE-Union of Working Consumers of Greece, member and representative of the European Consumers’ Union (ECU). EEKE is the Greek consumer organization partner of Cittadinanzattiva, the only consumer organization involved in the NUDGE consortium. Read more (in Greek)
