eHealth4all@EU – Digital competencies for Europe’s health
European partner universities develop learning opportunities for interprofessional eHealth competencies
Future of digital healthcare in Europe
eHealth – the use of digital technologies in the treatment and care of patients – plays a central role for Europe and its member states. eHealth technologies offer significant opportunities for the prevention, treatment and management of diseases, especially in ageing societies. At the same time, it could help contain rising costs for the expanding use of health services.
Digital skills and cooperation urgently needed
Challenges of healthcare’s digital transformation are no longer primarily on the technological side: The successful use of eHealth applications depends to a large extent on whether they are understood, trusted and supported by the many millions of professionals working in the European healthcare and social systems. In addition to digital skills, this requires improved interdisciplinary and interprofessional cooperation – because shared digital systems form important bridges between the various groups of health professionals involved in patient care.
eHealt4all@EU – an interprofessional European educational offer
The Interprofessional European eHealth Programme in Higher Education (eHealth4all@EU) project will address the high demand for health professionals to be competent and confident in eHealth. This collaborative, multidisciplinary, pan-European project aims to develop, implement and evaluate an interprofessional eHealth training programme for graduate students – the next generation of professionals – in higher education. The consortium consists of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences (coordinator) with the University of Osnabrück under the umbrella of the joint GesundheitsCampusOsnabrück as well as the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio and the Universidade do Porto, Portugal.
Objectives of the project are (among other things) to
- identify relevant digital and interprofessional skillsets for health professionals,
- develop a corresponding curriculum with contributions from the various European countries, and
- create learning materials for e-learning courses and a European summer school.

In an effort to bring science and society together in Europe, and consequently increase the continent’s international competitiveness, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education must be more relatable to European youths to raise their interests and involvement in STEM careers.
Program: erasmus+
The EU framework program Erasmus+ promotes cooperation in the field of education with the aim of creating a common European education area. From the total budget of approximately 26 billion euros, projects in the areas of school, vocational/adult education, higher education, as well as in the fields of youth and sports will be funded in the period 2021 to 2027.
