ECHOES Malta Event Showcases Global Collaboration for Health and Wellbeing

On the 25 November 2025, professionals, educators, researchers, and stakeholders from health, social care, and wellbeing came together in Malta for a free in-person event dedicated to the ECHOES platform – a global online tool designed to connect expertise and support international collaboration.

The session introduced participants to the ECHOES project and platform and why it matters: a free platform where professionals can register their expertise, connect with universities and organisations, and contribute to research and educational projects across borders. Attendees saw how the platform helps users:

• Expand their professional network 
• Gain international visibility
• Contribute to international research and education
• Collaborate across disciplines
• Organise and access free webinars for ongoing professional development
• Use a built-in videoconferencing tool to share knowledge 

Participants also heard from key partners, including the International Network for Healthcare Workforce Education (INHWE) and the Shift-Hub project, who presented their initiatives and highlighted opportunities for future collaboration. Their involvement underlined ECHOES’ role within a broader ecosystem working to improve healthcare and wellbeing through joined-up, international efforts.

The event offered space for discussion and networking, with many attendees exploring concrete ways to use the platform in their daily work and future projects.

ECHOES is aimed at healthcare, social care, and wellbeing professionals, educators, and researchers who want to share their expertise and engage in meaningful, cross-border projects.

Registration is free, and by doing so, professionals can enhance their visibility, build new partnerships, and help shape the future of healthcare and wellbeing through global collaboration.
