This is SINCERE
SINCERE is a project in the field of e-health. The aim is to involve SMEs to be active in the e-health sector by providing them with knowledge, networking and sharing knowledge with other players, future roadmaps and innovation strategies.
SINCERE will bring SMEs closer to researchers in the e-health field, all with the objective of preparing them for participation in Framework Programme or other research projects supported by the European Commission.
SINCERE operates in Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Latvia, Norway and Turkey. The countries have reached different levels of development in the e-health area, which will contribute to achieve synergy effects.
Throughout the SINCERE-project, the SMEs will be given support and assistance in both partnering and project cooperation. The set targets and objectives focus almost exclusively on increasing competence, knowledge and activities among SMEs in developing technology roadmaps and Framework Programme project participation. These components will be provided mainly through regional workshops and training seminars. Actively involved SMEs will publish their partnering profiles on various databases, and some of them will form partnerships.
As internationalisation is a vital link in improving the employment situation, through encouraging investments and thus stimulating growth, a transnational conference in e-Health will be held in 2007.  |
