Scope

This topic aims to expand education and training in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for healthcare through collaboration between higher education institutions, training providers, research organisations and industry. The content should align with key EU policy developments, notably the AI Strategy and the European Health Data Space, and cover both technological advances and practical applications of AI and digital health technologies.

The training are designed for a broad audience, including healthcare professionals, as well as data scientists, programmers, and software developers working in the healthcare sector. They should be adapted to different levels of expertise, with varying depth and technical complexity, and delivered in cooperation with the European network of AI-powered advanced screening centres. Courses are expected to be offered at least quarterly, available in English and other EU languages, and regularly updated based on participants’ needs and feedback.

Projects should also promote the use of European health data infrastructures, such as HealthData@EU and related initiatives, and build synergies with existing EU-funded education and training activities, including those under EU4Health and Erasmus+, to further strengthen digital skills across the healthcare workforce.
