The AttractAdria project has officially begun its mission to fundamentally transform the scientific landscape of the Adria region. Funded by the European Union, this initiative is dedicated to establishing a resilient and vibrant research ecosystem centred on personalised preventive healthcare. The project launch marks a crucial step toward strengthening scientific capacity and boosting international collaboration across the region.
Why the Adria region needs a research ecosystem?
Historically, research institutions in the Adria region, particularly in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Croatia, have faced barriers to full integration into the wider European Research Area. AttractAdria is designed to bridge these gaps. Our core objective is to raise the research profile of local universities by introducing targeted mentoring, training, and networking activities with globally leading institutions. This is not just about isolated projects, it’s about building a sustainable environment where scientific excellence can thrive long-term.
The role of early-career researches
A core pillar of AttractAdria is the empowerment of early-career researchers. They are the future leaders who will drive innovation. The project is strategically focused on improving the employability and career prospects of these researchers by enhancing their digital literacy, fostering interdisciplinary connections, and promoting mobility between academia and industry. By investing in this generation, AttractAdria ensures the research ecosystem remains dynamic and forward-looking.
Focus on Personal Preventive Healtchare
The project’s scientific focus, personalised preventive healthcare, is at the cutting edge of medicine. We are working to ensure the Adria region contributes meaningfully to this field by strengthening data-driven research and integrating innovative digital technologies. This commitment will help position the region as a recognised player in global health innovation.
