Looking for partners on topic HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-02

We’re coordinating a proposal on topic HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-02: Innovative interventions to prevent the harmful effects of using digital technologies on the mental health of children and young adults.

The project aims at empowering children and adolescents to develop healthier digital habits and improved brain health through an evidence-based digital intervention supported by behavioural and physiological data.  

What we’re looking for:

• WP leadership: The scope of the WP is to assure that digital intervention is fair, inclusive, and safe for all children and adolescents, regardless of gender, socio-economic background, digital literacy, or mental health status.

• The work goes beyond theoretical analysis: it combines data analysis, user engagement, and practical guidelines to ensure that the intervention does not introduce or reinforce biases and is effective across diverse populations.  

• Expected activities:

  • Understanding diversity and user needs

  • Co-design and inclusive participation

  • Bias detection and mitigation

  • Ethical and policy guidance

• Pilot providers (Schools - 10-16 years range ).
