Digital Europe Programme
highThe Digital Europe Programme (DEP) is a funding programme focused on bringing digital technology to businesses, citizens, and public administrations across the EU. It aims to boost Europe's digital transformation, investing in areas such as supercomputing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced digital skills, and the wide use of digital technologies across the economy and society. Its goal is to strengthen Europe's strategic digital capacities and facilitate their widespread deployment.
Evaluators will expect proposals to clearly demonstrate how they contribute to the overarching objectives of the Digital Europe Programme, particularly in deploying advanced digital solutions for public services or industry. This includes showing how the project will foster digital transformation, enhance digital skills, or strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty and competitiveness.
EU legislation
highEU legislation encompasses the body of laws, regulations, directives, and decisions enacted by the European Union institutions. It forms the legal framework that governs various aspects of economic, social, and environmental life across member states. For digital solutions, relevant legislation often includes data protection (e.g., GDPR), cybersecurity, digital services, and sector-specific regulations.
Evaluators will expect proposals to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the relevant EU legislation pertinent to their digital solutions and the domain of regulatory compliance. This includes clearly identifying which specific legislative acts the solution aims to help comply with, how it ensures adherence to principles like data protection and privacy, and how it addresses legal interoperability and trustworthiness.
Simpl programme
highAssuming "Simpl programme" refers to initiatives focused on administrative simplification and reducing regulatory burden, such programmes aim to streamline processes, cut red tape, and make public services more efficient and user-friendly. They often involve digital transformation to automate procedures, improve data exchange, and enhance transparency, ultimately making it easier for citizens and businesses to comply with regulations.
Evaluators will expect proposals to clearly demonstrate how their digital solutions contribute to the simplification of regulatory compliance processes, aligning with the objectives of reducing administrative burden and improving efficiency. This includes showing how the solution automates complex tasks, facilitates easier data submission, or provides clearer guidance, thereby simplifying compliance for end-users.
Apply AI Strategy
mediumThe Apply AI Strategy is central to this call, focusing on the deployment of AI in healthcare to improve screening, diagnosis, and patient outcomes. It emphasizes the creation of a European network of AI-powered screening centres.
Evaluators will prioritize proposals that align closely with the Apply AI Strategy, demonstrating how the project will contribute to the European network of AI-powered screening centres, share best practices, and ensure scalability and sustainability of AI solutions in healthcare.
European Digital Identity Wallet
mediumThe European Digital Identity Wallet is a key initiative under the eIDAS 2.0 Regulation, aiming to provide all EU citizens and residents with a secure and convenient way to prove their identity and share electronic documents from their mobile phones. It enables users to access online services, store official documents, and share data securely, giving them full control over their personal information.
Evaluators will look for proposals that demonstrate how their digital solutions can integrate with or leverage the European Digital Identity Wallet for secure and verifiable identity management in regulatory compliance processes. This includes showing how the wallet can facilitate secure data exchange, streamline identity verification, and enhance trust in digital interactions related to compliance, while respecting user privacy and data sovereignty.
DEP Regulation 2021/964
mediumThe Digital Europe Programme (DEP) Regulation underpins the call, emphasizing the deployment of AI in public sector services, including healthcare. It supports the development of secure, interoperable, and trustworthy digital solutions.
Evaluators will expect proposals to demonstrate alignment with DEP objectives, particularly in deploying AI solutions that are secure, scalable, and interoperable with existing digital infrastructures in healthcare.
EU Financial Regulation 2024/2509
lowThis regulation governs the financial management of EU funds, ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficient use of resources. It is relevant for proposals involving large-scale piloting and validation of AI systems in healthcare.
Evaluators will look for clear financial planning, cost-efficiency analysis, and compliance with EU financial rules, particularly in demonstrating the economic viability and sustainability of the proposed AI solutions.
