FORTEe
Get strong to fight childhood cancer
-
An exercise intervention for children and adolescents undergoing anti-cancer treatment
Key Facts
Coordinator:
Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Jörg Faber, UMC-Mainz
Universitätsmedizin der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
EC Funding:
6.29 million € (Horizon 2020)
Members:
16 institutions from 8 European countries
Duration:
5,5 years
Kick-off: 01.03.2021
About
FORTEe promotes exercise oncology that aims at making patients stronger to fight childhood cancer. Supervised exercise training intends to increase muscle strength and reduce muscular atrophy due to bed rest. Within the project, digital, innovative technologies such as augmented reality will be developed and applied to make the exercise training more effective, age-adapted and personalised. FORTEe has the ambition to implement paediatric exercise oncology as an evidence-based standard in clinical care for all childhood cancer patients across the EU and beyond.
Areas of responsibility:
Lead, dissemination & knowledge management, strategic planning and conceptual design of communications, PR + marketing communications, digital content creation, establishing and maintenance of the project website and social media channels, stakeholdermanagement, training

TIMESPAN
Management of chronic cardiometabolic disease and treatment discontinuity in adult ADHD patients
Key Facts
Coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Henrik Larsson, Örebro University
EC Funding:
5.999 286 million € (Horizon 2020)
Members:
17 institutions from 14 European countries
Duration:
5 years
Kick-off: 01.04.2021
About
Emerging evidence points at a significant association and shared genetic traits between adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and cardiometabolic conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, which, when inadequately treated, can lead to adverse outcomes and significant costs for society. This is where TIMESPAN steps in, fostering improvements in risk stratification and improvement of the treatments already available for patients with ADHD who also have a cardiometabolic disease.

FAMILY
Running in the FAMILY

Understanding and predicting the intergenerational transmission of mental illness
Key Facts
Coordinator:
Prof. Neeltje van Haren, Erasmus MC
Erasmus University Medical Center Department Child Psychiatry
EC Funding:

Kick-off: 01.10.2022
About
Mental illness runs in families. The FAMILY consortium aims to improve the lives of mentally ill people with novel predictive models. In-depth causal analysis (how and when the risk of mental illness occurs) helps to identify risk and resilience factors early and in a family-based way, and to predict who may develop mental symptoms – serving as new targets for the development of prevention strategies.
The objectives are to improve causal understanding and gain prediction power from the family context by the innovative combination of statistical modelling of genetically informed designs, causal inference, multimodal and multilevel normative prediction, and molecular mapping, brought by world-leading neuroscientific expertise of the consortium, and address key bioethical and social issues raised by the concept of intergenerational risk transmission and risk prediction.
