PROJECT OVERVIEW
Health CASCADE is a Marie Skłodowska Curie Innovative Training Networks project funded by the European Union (H2020 MSCA ITN) (Project number 956501).
The aim of Health CASCADE is to foster the next generation of highly-trained research leaders to develop evidence based guiding principles, novel tools and new technologies to make co-creation an effective tool to fight complex public health problems through a European Joint Doctoral Programme.
Global health challenges confront us all as individuals and communities – from obesity to pandemics, cancer to dementia – magnified by climate change and increasing inequality. These challenges are complex problems arising from multiple interconnected factors and feedback loops, resistant to existing public health programmes. We need new ideas and new approaches such as co-creation. By bringing together citizens, academics, businesses, and civil organisations, the project aims to co-create effective solutions to these complex problems.
AIMS & MISSION
Health CASCADE’s mission is to make Co-creation TRUSTWORTHY and EFFECTIVE. We are bringing together citizens, academics, businesses, and civil organisations to co-create effective solutions to contemporary complex societal problems.
Health CASCADE PLAN OF ACTION
Our objectives are:
1) To develop and test evidence based innovative theories, principles, methods and technologies based on solid evidence for Co-creation.
2) To build capacity for evidence-based Co-creation by fostering the next generation of highly-trained research leaders and through cascade training.
