Political Science expertise for Horizon Europe Health Projects

I am seeking to collaborate on projects with consortia preparing or implementing Horizon Europe Cluster Health proposals, offering political science expertise to strengthen project design, governance, and impact.

A good deal of health research and innovation projects face challenges not primarily due to scientific or technical limitations, but because political, institutional, and stakeholder dynamics are insufficiently addressed. I contribute analytical and practical expertise to help consortia systematically engage with these dynamics across the project lifecycle.

My contribution draws on an integrated approach that combines:

• Political science of health: analysis of policy contexts, institutions, interests, and power relations shaping health systems and reforms

• Political science for health: actionable insights supporting decision-making, regulation, and implementation

• Political science with health: co-production of knowledge with researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders

This expertise can support:

• Governance and coordination work packages

• Stakeholder mapping and engagement strategies

• Theory of change and implementation pathways

• Policy uptake, dissemination, and exploitation planning

• Alignment with Horizon Europe impact and implementation criteria

I am interested in joining interdisciplinary consortia as a partner or contributor, particularly for projects addressing health systems, public health, equity, regulation, evidence use, and complex multi-actor policy challenges.
