About eHealth ERA Project
The overall goal of the eHealth ERA Project is to support Member State innovation-oriented eHealth RTD, identify opportunities for multilateral joint activities, and take steps towards further integration of eHealth deployment and implementation across countries. Towards this end, the project will contribute to

  • greater transparency across Member States with regard to eHealth strategies, RTD policies, and the current state of eHealth implementation,
  • identification and analysis of priority deployment goals and RTD needs,
  • exchange of experience in developing and managing eHealth strategies and programmes,
  • preparation of sustainable mechanisms for trans-national cooperation between Member States for mutual benefit.
Participating countries will thus benefit from an exchange of key information about ongoing activities and lessons learned in other countries, a better understanding of eHealth RTD and implementation in Member States, and an analysis of common priorities and opportunities for concerted actions.
