Programme Description
Το Πρόγραμμα Ψηφιακής Ευρώπης είναι το πρώτο πρόγραμμα της ΕΕ που στοχεύει να επιταχύνει την ανάκαμψη και να οδηγήσει τον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό της Ευρώπης.
Ύψους €7.6 δισεκατομμυρίων (σε τρέχουσες τιμές), το Πρόγραμμα αποτελεί μέρος του επόμενου μακροπρόθεσμου προϋπολογισμού της ΕΕ (το Πολυετές Δημοσιονομικό Πλαίσιο) και καλύπτει το 2021 έως το 2027. Θα παρέχει χρηματοδότηση για έργα σε πέντε κρίσιμους τομείς: υπερυπολογιστές , τεχνητή νοημοσύνη, κυβερνοασφάλεια, προηγμένες ψηφιακές δεξιότητες και διασφάλιση της ευρείας χρήσης ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών σε ολόκληρη την οικονομία και την κοινωνία.
Το πρόγραμμα είναι προσαρμοσμένο για να καλύψει το κενό μεταξύ της έρευνας των ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών και της ανάπτυξής τους, και να φέρει τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας στην αγορά – προς όφελος των πολιτών και των επιχειρήσεων της Ευρώπης, και ιδίως των ΜμΕ. Οι επενδύσεις στο πλαίσιο του προγράμματος Ψηφιακή Ευρώπη υποστηρίζουν τους διπλούς στόχους της Ένωσης για μια πράσινη μετάβαση και τον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό και ενισχύουν την ανθεκτικότητα και τη στρατηγική αυτονομία της Ένωσης.

Summary
The objectives of the TEF are to accelerate the testing by mutualising the infrastructures as well the administrative, medical and ethical procedures and certifications as well as to advance personalised medicine and person-centred care, with the aim to increase the effectiveness, resilience and sustainability of European health and care systems and reduce healthcare delivery inequalities in Europe, while ensuring compliance with relevant legal, ethical, quality and interoperability requirements. The TEF will operate as a multidisciplinary setting having a common collaboration framework. It will provide physical and digital access to large resources and will offer support, research partners, clinical expertise, expertise in AI and robotics, data, training and access to high-performance computing.
Detailed Call Description
The TEF should be close to where health and care services are provided but also cover multiple health and care processes within the realm of research, innovation and regulation (hospitals, health and care centres, universities, RTOs, innovation ecosystems – like incubators, clusters, accelerators, public health or certification agencies, healthcare companies of any sizes when relevant). The TEF will gather researchers, medical and clinical professionals, patients, industrial developers, innovators and end-users, and they may include regulatory sandboxes. This facility could be centralised or distributed across several locations around a central node in order to reflect the sector diversity, and possibly support some remote operations.
Activities supported by this scheme will cover the demonstration, testing and validation in real-life application environment, possibly with real patients, but also ethical and data protection reviews, certification, market analysis, IP protection, incubation and business development, as well as the contribution to the regulation and standardization effort, when relevant. The infrastructure established within this facility will include both the hardware (e.g. robots, high-performance computers, 3D printing, IoT) and the software, including trusted and secured access to data, necessary to provide the different services. Links to the data space for health should be established, when necessary. The project is encouraged to collaborate with other relevant Digital Europe Programme projects, in particular the edge AI and other sectorial Testing and Experimentation Facilities, to ensure appropriate synergies. The project should allow for large-scale in-silico, in vitro, ex-vivo and in vivo testing, when relevant.
The facility may include a range of use cases in different fields such as:
- Treatments in various fields including cancer and paediatrics;
- Monitoring the progress of long‑term conditions in function of treatment (e.g. diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases etc.)
- Support to doctors’ decision-making, including personalised, predictive and gender-sensitive treatments;
- Detection of tumours from imaging;
- Robotics surgery;
- Robotics assistance and rehabilitation etc.
