Final call for entries to 2004 EU e-health awards
- 9 January 2004
The closing date for entries to European Union’s eEurope Awards for eHealth comes later this month, with the deadline falling on 21 January. Winners of the eEurope Awards for eHealth will be announced at May’s High-Level European eHealth Conference and Exhibition, in Cork. The goal of the awards is to help demonstrate where Europe currently stands in eHealth. The awards and event are intended to help identify the eHealth tools and services for citizens currently available, and illustrate how European citizens can benefit from such services in the future. The awards target three specific types of eHealth project: Approximately 30 selected finalists will be invited to exhibit their tools and services at the High-Level eHealth Conference and Exhibition, to be held in Cork, Ireland 5-6 May 2004. Independent experts will evaluate the applications in order to select the exhibitors and the eventual winners. European Commissioners Erkki Liikanen and David Byrne, together with the Irish Minister for Health and Children Micheal Martin, will present the eEurope Awards for the most outstanding eHealth solutions at the High-Level European eHealth Conference and Exhibition 2004. There are four eligibility criteria for all three eHealth awards: Current research and development projects and pilots are therefore not eligible for the call. However, fully operational solutions that were previously supported by research programmes can be put forward for the awards. Further details available from: http://www.e-europeawards.org/
