Global Entrepreneurship Week 17-23Nov08

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:18:21 +0200

Countries all around the world are joining together to carry the banner of Global Entrepreneurship Week, an initiative aimed at young people everywhere. During the week of November 17 - 23, 2008, partner organizations will conduct a range of activities - from simple speeches to comprehensive competitions - designed to inspire, connect, inform, mentor and engage the next generation of entrepreneurs.

The Week is a worldwide initiative that is linking all those willing to embrace it. Host organizations in each participating country are recruiting partners and coordinating related activities. The exact type of these activities, whether online or face-to-face, is limited only by the imaginations of the partners and the participants. And while a list of suggested activities such as invention competitions, entrepreneurship film festivals, networking events, school-based activities, and local entrepreneurship summits - will be available on the website, the actual activities conducted by partners will vary greatly.

And while it may be global in scope, at its heart, the Week is a local initiative that reflects the customs and entrepreneurial culture of each community. After all, what works in Boise, Idaho might be quite different from what works in Bangalore, India.

Global Entrepreneurship Week seeks to:

Inspire: Introduce the notion of enterprising behavior to as many young people under the age of 30 who otherwise might not have considered it as a path in their life

Connect: Network young people across national boundaries in a global effort to find new ideas at the intersection of cultures and disciplines

An affordable and personalised health care system for an independent ageing

There is a social and market demand for the new, ICT based responses to care and health service provision to improve chronic disease management at home and prolong the possibility of autonomous, safe and socially fulfilling life. Many current ICT e-health applications focus on the provision of individual clinical services. There is a need for improvement of horizontal applications and for the coordination of services from different agencies and disciplines into tailored and customised packages of provision spanning both health and social care. The proposed session will exchange best practice and propose new solutions for the coordinated of the delivery and governance of complex ehealth services. It will explore the architectural and technological issues of these applications and infrastructures and investigate viable business models for innovative and low cost health services’ provision. A comparative approach with the enterprise interoperability world will be considered.

3.2. QUALITY, EFFICIENCY AND SOLIDARITY OF HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS INCLUDING TRANSITIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS
The objective is to provide, in the light of new knowledge, scientifically validated tools to
allow countries to learn from the experience of other health systems and their
sustainability, taking into account the importance of national contexts and population
characteristics (ageing, mobility, migration, education, socioeconomic status and the
changing world of work etc). Focus will be on organisational, financial and regulatory
aspects of health systems (assessing the cost, efficiency and benefits of different
interventions including as regards patient safety), their implementation and their outcomes
in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and equity (including disadvantaged groups). Special
attention will be paid to investment issues and human resources, including home care
strategies.
Expected impact: Projects should advance the state of the art in the field of health systems
research and enhance cooperation between researchers in Europe and other geographic
regions to promote integration and excellence of European research in the field. This
research should develop the scientific evidence base that supports the Member States to
organise better their health systems according to the common principles of equity,
solidarity, and universality. The knowledge generated should empower the policy and
decision maker better to manage and reform healthcare systems in view of common
challenges and within the common framework of the European Union.
