    What this call funds

    This call funds a single large project that will help hospitals, public health authorities, and health data holders across the EU roll out digital health services under the new European Health Data Space rules. The winning consortium will run a cascading grants scheme, giving smaller sub-grants (up to €120,000 each) to public authorities, healthcare providers, and service providers to help them adopt the European Electronic Health Record exchange format, prepare health datasets for reuse, and train service providers to support this transition.
