“TRANSiTION Final Event Thoughts
Yesterday, in a fully packed room at the European Parliament and under the auspices of MEP Loucas Fourlas, we presented the final results of the TRANSiTION project:
Over a period of 31 months, a diverse consortium of 25 partners from 14 EU countries came together to collaboratively design and deliver a multidisciplinary training programme focused on digital skills, incorporating multiple flexible learning pathways. A key component of the initiative was the adoption of a ‘train-the-trainer’ model, aimed at ensuring the long-term sustainability and scalability of the programme by equipping trainers with the necessary tools and competencies to continue delivering high-quality instruction beyond the project’s duration.
During this period, the consortium successfully piloted the training programme across Europe. What began as a regional initiative quickly evolved into a global endeavour, with the programme expanding to reach participants in over 60 countries worldwide. Crucially, it provided free, accredited training opportunities, including to learners in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), thereby contributing to greater global equity in digital education.
The TRANSiTION project went beyond education and capacity building; it served as a catalyst for policy impact. Drawing from the practical experience and insights gained during implementation, we developed a set of concrete policy recommendations aimed at supporting and shaping the ongoing digital transformation in healthcare at both national and international levels.
As the coordinator of this groundbreaking project, I am deeply honoured by the legacy it has created. TRANSiTION has not only advanced the digital competencies of professionals across Europe and beyond but also laid a strong foundation for future innovation, inclusion, and sustainability in digital health education.
None of this would have been possible without the dedication, expertise, and collaboration of every partner involved. Kudos to everyone who contributed to making this ambitious vision a reality. Your commitment has left a lasting impact on digital health education—and the future looks all the brighter because of it.”
