On 16–17 June 2025, a HaDEA delegation visited Tallinn, Estonia, for a series of meetings focused on EU funding opportunities in the fields of Health and Digital.
The visit was led by HaDEA’s Director Marina Zanchi.
On 16 June, the delegation met with Estonia’s National Contact Points for Horizon Europe and Digital Europe, and National Focal Points for EU4Health. In this closed-door session, HaDEA presented its role in managing EU funding programmes and discussed synergies across thematic areas.
On 17 June, the delegation visited Tallinn University and was welcomed by the Vice-Rector for Research. HaDEA representatives met representatives of three projects managed by the Agency:
- BECID – Baltic Engagement Centre for Combating Information Disorders
- BootStRaP – Boosting Societal Adaptation and Mental Health in a Rapidly Digitalizing, Post-Pandemic Europe
- AI-Mind – Intelligent digital tools for screening of brain connectivity and dementia risk estimation in people affected by mild cognitive impairment
These discussions underscored the essential role of EU funding in tackling cross-border challenges and raised awareness about the opportunities it provides to Estonian stakeholders.
