Active Citizenship Network has recently signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with European Patient Safety Foundation (EUPSF), an independent, public interest Foundation, with the aim to support and raise standards of the safety and quality of care of patients as well as to encourage all parties interested to join in on a European and worldwide level. The Foundation also aims at being a best practices exchange platform for innovative, meaningful, sustainable, and replicable solutions for Patient Safety improvement. In this regard, ACN and EUPSF agreed to work together on the improvement of patients’ access to care and on strengthening patients’ empowerment and agreed to support each other’s initiatives and best practices on the topic of the protection of patients’ rights.
Active Citizenship Network has recently signed an official agreement with the Centre for Regional Policy Research and Cooperation “Studiorum”, a Macedonian non-governmental think-tank working on economic and social aspects of EU integration and globalization processes. Active Citizenship Network and Studiorum aim to collaborate on the empowerment of citizens and patients and on increasing their participation in European public policies and dialogues.
Active Citizenship Network is pleased to announce that a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the International Alliance of Patients’ Organizations IAPO, a unique global alliance of 280 patient organizations and alliances from 72 countries representing patients across all disease areas and promoting patient-centered healthcare around the world. ACN and IAPO agreed to cooperate at the global level to encourage awareness-raising initiatives and sharing best practices on appropriate antimicrobial use and prevention of antimicrobial resistance. This will be done also through the IAPO P4PS Observatory, a single-point global platform established with the aim to put patients at the centre of safe, affordable and accessible healthcare, and with a mission of reducing preventable harm through patient empowerment and engagement as equal partners in harm prevention.
Active Citizenship Network keeps growing, and not only in Europe. In this newsletter we are going to report a series of agreements formalized in this last period, which testify a growing interest in our work on the one hand, and - on the other hand - our willingness to collaborate in synergy with the many actors of civil society who pursue common purposes.
The provisions of the Clean Energy Package have paved the way for a new, more active role of prosumers and energy communities in the electricity market. Innovative tools and tailored solutions should be developed and tested in order to fully enable new types of interaction between citizens as consumers, prosumers and (members of) energy communities and foster participation in energy (in particular electricity) markets. To reach these goals, the following call for Horizon projects has been launched:
As the first year of the NUDGE Project ends, the first phase of data collection on consumers’ behaviors regarding energy is ending, while the second phase begins. This year the NUDGE consortium will carry out five field trials to experiment with a broad set of behavioral interventions in scenarios with high potential for energy savings, targeting consumers from Greece, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, and Croatia. Pilot projects will target European consumers coming from different environments (residential, energy communities, schools), different age groups (children included), different income classes, and being served by different energy carriers.
On the occasion of the Flu Awareness Week - and its Annual Meeting - the Coalition for Vaccination, with which Active Citizenship Network is an associated organisation, has launched a social media campaign to recommend getting vaccinated against influenza also this year!
