1 Societal challenge of health, demographic change and wellbeing (SC1) Challenges for Portuguese investigators Emília Monteiro Joana Camilo GPPQ-FCT

2 Societal challenge of health, demographic change and wellbeing (SC1) Challenges for Portuguese investigators Overview Difficulties vs opportunities What FCT can do to improve your participation in H2020

3 Societal challenge of health, demographic change and wellbeing (SC1) The new paradigm

4 The new paradigm Examples of ICT on Societal Challenge of Health PHC : Advancing active and healthy ageing with ICT: Service robotics within assisted living environments PHC : Advancing active and healthy ageing with ICT: ICT solutions for independent living with cognitive impairment PHC : Advancing active and healthy ageing with ICT: Early risk detection and intervention PHC : Advanced ICT systems and services for Integrated Care PHC : Self-management of health and disease: citizen engagement and mhealth PHC : Self-management of health and disease and patient empowerment supported by ICT PHC : Self-management of health and disease and decision support systems based on predictive computer modelling used by the patient him or herself PHC : Public procurement of innovative ehealth services PHC : Digital representation of health data to improve disease diagnosis and treatment PHC : Advancing bioinformatics to meet biomedical and clinical needs PHC : ehealth interoperability ICT: Information and Communication Technologies

6 The new paradigm and the classical Portuguese bottlenecks in health Difficulties 1. Health care is the first priority for human resources in Health 2. Huge work load in health care, absence of protected time for research 3. Absence of infrastructures in health care units 4. Health is dominated by basic research (competition) 5. Low participation of SMEs 6. The calls are open for very specific pathologies Opportunities 1. Focus area: Personalized care 2. Involve human resources of different areas (ICT, social sciences, environment, nutrition). Take advantadge of people with experience in EU applications in other areas 3. Funds for infrastructures 4. Basic research is now mainly concentrated in Excellent Science 5. More innovation and market oriented projects. Specific instruments for SMEs. Support for the whole process of R&D 6. Competition between pathologies in challenges

7 The new paradigm and the classical Portuguese bottlenecks in health Difficulties 7. Little experience in clinical research 8. Clinical research needs large databases 9. Large consortia are already organized: our added value? 10. Only one Portuguese partner in each project 11. A small country like Portugal cannot lead an European grant 12. Lower national budgets for research and innovation Opportunities 7. Training in clinical research improved in the last years (HMS, internos doutorandos, Gulbenkian formação médica avançada) 8. International collaboration is mandatory in clinical research. Clinical trials in several topics. Several national iniciatives to support clinical trials 9. The new paradigma increases diversity of partners and facilitates new consortia 10. Several portuguese partners in a consortium improve national leadership, cohesion and financial return 11. Several successful examples of Portuguese coordinators 12. Access to European budget

8 What can FCT do to improve your participation? Information and training Facilitate networking Identify partners/consortia at the national and international level Contacts with other scientific areas: humanities, ICT, Stimulate your participation as evaluators Support your applications
