Building Climate-Resilient Mental Health: From Community Solutions to Public Policy

Organisation Profile

We are a socio-healthcare organisation working closely with local and regional public administrations, healthcare and social care services, and community stakeholders. We bridge research, innovation, real-world implementation and policy impact, with a strong focus on mental health, well-being, prevention, safety, resilience and sustainability across the life course.

We have extensive experience in European R&D&I projects, Living Labs and real-world validation of digital, community-based and technological interventions.

Core Expertise

• Mental health, psychosocial well-being and stress-related outcomes (emerging psychosocial risks)

• Prevention, individual safety and healthy living and working environments

• Digital health and non-pharmacological interventions, including VR and assistive technologies

• Co-creation and Living Lab methodologies with citizens, professionals and policymakers

• Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) integration using mixed methods

• Behavioural and motivational strategies for circularity and sustainability in healthcare, including electronic medical devices (e.g. Horizon Europe DICE project)

What We Offer

• Psychosocial, usability and behavioural assessment (needs, preferences, concerns, motivation)

• Impact measurement on mental health, well-being, safety, climate stress and sustainable behaviours

• Co-creation workshops and stakeholder engagement in semi-real and real environments

• Pilots and validation in community, socio-healthcare and occupational settings

• Experience in clinical studies, proof-of-concept and large-scale trials (400+ participants)

• Digital and community-based interventions, including VR tools (GRADIOR Suite) and assistive devices (Cama-Up, patented)

• Policy translation through strong links with public administrations

Added Value for the Consortium

• Strong real-world validation and societal impact

• Genuine SSH integration

• Direct policy uptake through public sector connections

• Contribution to sustainable and circular healthcare innovation

• Reduced implementation and adoption risks

What We Are Looking For

• Joint Horizon Europe proposals on climate change, mental health, prevention, inclusion, ageing and well-being

• Research and academic partners (public health, epidemiology, environmental health, climate sciences) to strengthen the evidence base on climate-related health impacts.

• Other clinical and healthcare organisations (hospitals, primary care, mental health services) to support real-world validation, pilots and clinical or observational studies.

• Environmental and climate experts to link climatic drivers, exposure patterns and health outcomes.

• Data management and interoperability experts to support FAIR data, EHDS alignment and secure data sharing.

• Policy, public health authorities and municipalities to co-create, test and uptake evidence-based and climate-responsive health policies.

·        Experts in socioeconomic impact assessment, including cost-effectiveness, health inequalities and policy-relevant outcomes.

• Civil society organisations and NGOs, including patient and community organisations, to ensure inclusiveness and engagement of vulnerable populations.
