Strategic Analysis
This call seeks a robust, operational framework for Dissemination and Exploitation (D&E) across the Digital Europe Programme (DEP). A winning proposal must demonstrate a comprehensive, practical, and sustainable strategy to maximise the uptake of DEP results by diverse stakeholders, addressing security and strategic autonomy.
the overall programme, its Specific Objectives (SO) and areas therein, down to topics and projects where appropriate, across funding instruments in particular grants, procurements and financial instruments;
the capacity building and use strands of Digital Europe Programme, taking into account the type of result and its dissemination and exploitation audience;
the different types of organisations participating in the programme;
the different stakeholders, including final adopters and/or users of the results;
the stages of the project lifecycle and the reporting obligations;
the security and strategic autonomy specificities of the programme, including the implications in the use of critical infrastructures and exploitation of results;
coordination within EU and beyond when relevant, taking into account the policy priorities and initiatives; within the Digital Europe Programme itself, identifying and exploiting complementarities of projects among SO and topics, including SO specific coordination and support actions and project aggregators;
between the Digital Europe Programme, other EU programmes and national/regional programmes;
of the different programme’s implementing bodies, e.g. European Commission, Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA), Joint Undertakings (JUs) and similar bodies, taking into account their specificities in the handling of results resulting from their actions. The action will complement and enrich the D&E activities of the programme’s projects. The action will provide means that can help deliver its objective, including leveraging already existing tools, e.g. of other EU programmes, and the use of innovative approaches to D&E. The action will promote the uptake of Digital Europe Programme results beyond the entities directly involved in the programme’s projects.
Optimisation of the operational framework for D&E for the Digital Europe Programme taking into account the elements mentioned under “scope”, with solid methodological and practical approaches.
Identification of distinct types of adopters and the creation of a taxonomy articulating their respective interests and needs.
Support to projects in the preparation and execution of D&E activities, including valorisation and uptake of results via advisory, business support and acceleration services
A plan to deliver on the operational framework backed by monitoring and evaluation metrics.
The delivery of actions implementing the operational framework and involving stakeholders as appropriate, including sector specific and programme-wide events.
The means and tools to facilitate the delivery of the operational framework, including functional and technical requirements for a dedicated results platform.
A plan for the sustainability of the operational framework and the actions implemented by the project.
The dissemination and exploitation of results (including the access to infrastructures) in the specific context of security restrictions and the protection of EU interests overall.
Maximise the impact of the Digital Europe Programme and the take up of its results through a Dissemination and Exploitation (D&E) operational framework and the implementation of practical actions supported by appropriate tools. The action will leverage programme-level D&E efforts already in place and enhance them.
DEP Regulation 2021/964
highThe 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
mediumThis 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.

Evaluators will primarily look for a clear, actionable methodology for D&E that covers the entire DEP ecosystem, from programme level down to individual projects. Strong emphasis will be placed on identifying and engaging diverse adopter types, providing concrete support services to projects, and proposing innovative, sustainable tools and events to facilitate result valorisation, especially considering security and strategic autonomy.
