CHERRIES- Responsible Healthcare Ecosystems

Flotbot
CHERRIES supports healthcare research and innovation policy and pilot actions by interlinking RRI, demand-side policy and territorial innovation models incl. smart specialisation.

CHERRIES will run experiments in the healthcare sector in three European territories – in Murcia (ES), Örebro (SE) and the Republic of Cyprus (CY).

CHERRIES will run experiments in the healthcare sector in three European territories – in Murcia (ES), Örebro (SE) and the Republic of Cyprus (CY).

The processes, their outcomes and the policy frameworks the experiments are embedded in will be mapped, monitored, evaluated and serve as evidence-base for revision of sectoral policies, strategies and innovation support instruments.

CHERRIES will engage the territorial stakeholder ecosystems in participatory agenda setting, need articulation and institutional reflection processes. These will serve as starting point for collective approaches with shared responsibilities aiming to create more open, inclusive and self-sustaining territorial research and innovation (R&I) ecosystems.

CHERRIES receives funding from the EU H2020 Research & Innovation Programme. Any related posts reflect only the views of the project owner.

CyRIC is a WP Leader with the overall aim to establish the territorial experimentation process, prepare the stakeholder system for the RRI based demand articulation, experimentation and to the co-creation process. The training events will be organised in cooperation with the publication of the call for needs and stakeholders will be trained in answering the call. The objectives are:

  • Create a RRI tool box covering organisational and institutional aspects of implementing RRI in the healthcare context
  • Establish the knowledge base for the territorial experiments
  • Train multipliers and key stakeholders in facilitating bottom up RRI and need articulation processes
    Finalise the experiment design based on territorial preconditions and stakeholder landscape and publish a call for needs

The CHERRIES project will support Responsible, Research and Innovation (RRI) policy experiments in the healthcare sector in three European territories – in Murcia (ES), Örebro (SE) and the Republic of Cyprus (CY).

Aretaeio Hospital (AIK) will be the local Cypriot actor in the healthcare ecosystem and the host of the territorial experimentation and stakeholder’s engagement. Aretaeio Hospital is a leading Private Hospital in Cyprus and a Medical Center of Excellence in the wider region. It is a modern building with 70 patient beds, 4 large operating rooms and a smaller one, all of which are fully equipped and operable on a 24-hour basis. Aretaeio is a state-of-the-art private hospital that aims to provide the best and most comprehensive medical care to its patients by providing all the diagnostic and therapeutic services in modern facilities.

As a major local stakeholder in the healthcare system of Cyprus Aetaeio Hospital will contribute mainly to the co-creation of the solution in Cyprus. Moreover, it will engage in the mapping exercise, provide evidence-base and stakeholder support for future regional development strategies (new S3) and make use of its strong position in the healthcare system to support the external communication and dissemination activities.
