Running from 2023 to 2026, the #ENDOs project empowers women with endometriosis through non-formal adult education. It combines art, narrative medicine, and digital tools to strengthen patient voices, support carers, and build a European community. By training ENDOs and caregivers, it improves communication, wellbeing, and gender equality in healthcare across generations.

Tools and interfaces developed during this project include:

• Endostand platform, designed to simplify medical reports and improve communication between patients and healthcare providers.
• Simplendo platform, a simple interface that helps users understand medical reports of patients with endometriosis by simplifying medical/technical terms and adding information in simple language.

EnTrust is a doctoral network funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) which is a part of Horizon Europe. EnTrust focuses on the Next Generation of Trustworthy Agri-Data Management.

EnTrust Doctoral Network will train a cohort of 11 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in an intersectoral, international and interdisciplinary setting with the aim to establish a new generation of Data Executives that are able to advance the state of the art in sharing data in a fair, transparent, and trusted environment.

With 6 academic partners, 11 industry partners and 11 doctoral researchers across five countries, EnTrust’s mission is to is to enable farmers to become equal partners in the agri data-value chain. EnTrust will enable Doctoral Candidates to excel in their future career perspectives and to obtain a PhD in the intersection between computing, information systems and social science.

The programme will create a significant impact in terms of having a huge scientific, economic, and societal impact. EnTrust is investigating how agri-data from farmers can be made available, governed, and exploited, with benefits shared in a fair way.

EMPOWER is a multi-million-euro collaborative research programme dedicated to the multidisciplinary field of data governance. It is co-funded by industry partners and Research Ireland (formerly funded by Science Foundation Ireland, since amalgamated into Research Ireland), which brings together leading experts from academia and private enterprises to address the current challenges in data governance.

Effective data governance is central to EMPOWER’s vision for a thriving global data ecosystem. Our research aligns business goals with societal needs, developing tools and methodologies that address trust, privacy, transparency, inclusiveness, and fairness—enabling stakeholders to responsibly unlock the full value of data.

This is difficult to achieve and manage and there is a national and global need to develop innovative approaches to data governance, and to harness intelligent technologies to automate processes and define competencies, standards, and practices. This is the challenge EMPOWER is working to address, with the support and collaboration between the public and private sectors.
