The ECHOES project aims to develop an online platform where universities (and other organisations) can find and contact healthcare, social care and wellbeing experts worldwide to participate in educational and research projects.
The ECHOES platform is already freely available at www.echoesplatform.eu!
Healthcare, social care and wellbeing professionals, researchers, and academics can register their areas of expertise on the platform, making it easy for them to collaborate with universities, research centres, and other organisations worldwide.
The platform will also include an online videoconference platform, allowing experts to share their expertise and collaborate online.
The partners on this project are the Internationalisation Working Group of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Malta (coordinator), the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), PMF research (Italy), Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK), and the International Network for Health Workforce Education (INHWE).
