The international project HoCare, which idea and financing came thanks to DEX Innovation Centre, has impacted research and innovation potential in home care both on transnational as well as local levels, including the Czech Republic.
On the transnational level, we identified 32 good practices of home care research and innovation projects or Operational Programme strategic focus or management practices across 8 countries including the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Madeira, Slovenia, Lithuania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. We also mapped national R&I ecosystems actors, activities and project and developed 3 Joint Thematic Studies (for all stakeholders) - each focused on a different approach to how the innovation is generated - and 3 Policy Transfer Reports (for Operational Programme managing bodies). We organized 3 large international workshops and 1 big international high-level policy event in Cyprus at the end of the project.
In the Czech Republic (but also in other 7 countries), we created stakeholder groups who discussed and improved our analyses and who jointly suggested improvements to the Operational Programmes - in the Czech Republic for OPPIK programme. Through following our Action Plan aiming at improving evaluation procedures of selected OPPIK calls and creation of technology platform from engaged stakeholders, 12 OPPIK programme calls have been impacted by the approved change giving further support and motivation for evaluation elimination or bonus points for project positively impacting health. The affected changes included programmes such as Potential, Innovation, Proof of concept, Cooperation and Application. Despite the fact of missing opportunity to create technology platform around Social Life Sciences Platform (due to change of management in relevant stakeholder) and missed opened call for Technology platform, stakeholder group is still engaged to create a common technology platform project and welcome new interested participants as they remained active throghout the whole project and are also now for a follow-up project HoCare 2.0.
The impacted programmes and calls on side of OPPIK include:
