The Erasmus project BLISS wants to respond, with an integrated intervention from both the educational and social point of view, to the "need for health" and the related need to have the digital tools necessary to find, analyze, and understand the news about health. Active Citizenship Network, thanks to its broad knowledge on health issues, was involved by EGINA to cover a leading role in the EU project, which will begin in February 2022 and will last 24 months.
This project has received funding from the Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking (JU).
FACILITATE is a 4-year project launched by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). Its primary goal is to enable clinical trial participants to access and make use of their gathered during studies health data, to facilitate better shared medical decision-making among the health professionals involved in their care while simultaneously developing a method that allows data to be re-used in future research. FACILITATE will ensure that the whole process, from data collection to its destruction or anonymization, including its sharing and re-use, is legally and ethically compliant and aligned with the study participants' but also hospitals', academia, and industries' voices.
In FACILITATE, Cittadinanzattiva-ACN co-leads the WP6, the work package dedicated to communication and dissemination, particularly for coordinating the stakeholders' involvement.
BioReCer received funding from the Horizon Europe framework programme under the grant agreement number 101060684.
BIORECER aims to ensure the environmental performance and traceability of the biological feedstock used by bio-based industries by deploying guidelines to strengthen the current certification procedures. Through this approach, bioproducts' added value, use, as well as social acceptance will be increased.
In BIORECER, Cittadinanzattiva-ACN will work in WP4 and WP8, mainly dedicated to communication and dissemination and stakeholders’ involvement.

SUMMARY
In line with its long-term commitment on therapeutic adherence, Active Citizenship Network (ACN) launched in the second half of 2021 a EU project with the aim to better contribute – starting from citizens’ and patients’ perspective – on understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the therapeutic plans for chronic patients. The ultimate goal is to enhance the actions and reactions implemented by PAGs and relevant stakeholders in front of the community of experts and institutions.
The educational and training program “Active for Young Professionals” was launched in 2014 by Active Citizenship Network both in Italy and abroad. The program regularly offers internship and volunteering opportunities to undergraduate students and recent graduates from different universities.
The first biannual internship at Cittadinanzattiva Onlus began on January 12, 2015. Each year since then, Active Citizenship Network welcomes at its headquarters in Rome and Brussels preselected interns or volunteers, with a preference for students in European and International Affairs, Communications, Economics and Finance, Business Administration or Political Science; but also young adults passionate about citizens’ rights, civic participation, public policies, EU projects.
FRAMEWORK
The collateral damage of COVID-19: cardiovascular disease, the next pandemic wave
Evidence and data collected during the pandemic outbreak show that COVID-19 has had a significant impact on patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
In Italy, for instance, the fear of contagion has tripled the mortality rate due to heart attacks from 4.1% to 13.7%. A situation that risks of burning 20 years of prevention. The cause? According to the Italian Society of Cardiology (Sic), the causes range from lack of care (the reduction in hospitalizations was of 60%) to delays (times increased by 39%), linked to the fear of contagion. The data is the result of a national study of Sic, conducted in 54 hospitals.
Co-funded by the Health Programme of the European Union .
AHEAD addresses the challenge of medical deserts and medical desertification in Europe in an effort to reduce health inequalities. At the civil society and EU level, the ultimate impact is better access to health services, especially in underserved areas, and more equitable access to sufficient, skilled, and motivated health workers, starting with the countries involved in the Project: Romania, Serbia, Moldova, Italy (represented by Cittadinanzattiva/Active Citizenship Network) and the Netherlands. Cittadinanzattiva-ACN is the leader of WP6, which is about the Policy Dialogue at the national and EU level to ensure a joint reflection on practical, feasible, and acceptable policy measures to prevent and counteract medical deserts among national and European key stakeholders and relevant decision-makers.
Active Citizenship Network is glad to launch the third edition of its bi- annual project at the European level “EU Civic Prize on Chronic Pain - Collection of good practices” with the aim to highlight existing good practices in several European countries in terms of struggle against pain.
This third edition allows us to continuing expanding the “agora” of operators of good practices on pain, encouraging the exchange of experiences among health professionals, healthcare providers, Institutions, civic associations, and patient advocacy groups.
