Dear all, this is a consortia message, to collaborate, implement in real life through action-research, and get funds. Data as well, where relevant. I do hope this email will be of interest to developers and maintainers of Debian Med, as we are also working at the intersection of open source, medicine, and education through better commented code, teaching how to, train from early on. We are forming consortia for current EU and Wellcome Trust funding calls, focused on generative AI, mental health, and interdisciplinary education. We are looking for collaborators with experience in free software and medical informatics.

I have not contributed any package yet, my apologies. The calls are mostly EU-limited, but there may be space for broader participation.
By the way, Debían with accent, in Spanish is the past tense of we had to. I believe we need to get your pureblend better known among our expters, we believe we ought to join forces if you wish. If useful to you, DebianMed and other open source projects related, from all of you, could be presented in our upcoming meeting or future ones, to raise awareness, find clinical and academic partners, and improve software collaboratively. We are preparing now three EU proposals and one Wellcome call. I emphasize the hope to get funds to get more done, more sustainably. My apologies again. Please feel free to join or share.

Dear colleagues,
I hope this message
finds you doing great, thriving in your respective endeavors.
This is a message to extend you an invitation to re-engage or
engage more deeply with the EU BEACON One Health Education
network. In
previous iterations of our actions, we were aimed and
proposing to harness the potential of space technology to
address Earth's most pressing challenges. Since
2022 and 2023, the network has been pivoting towards
education, recognizing it as the cornerstone for sustainable
solutions and global well-being. This
deliberate shift underscores our commitment to integrating
cutting-edge advancements to empower communities and foster
resilience in the face of evolving global needs
By now we are applying to big European funding calls, shaping
consortia and working on our first action-research steps to
contribute. Our upcoming virtual meeting, to which you are
invited, is scheduled for:
Date: Thursday, May
22
Time: 17:00 –
18:00 (Asia/Jakarta Time)
Platform:
Google Meet
Join via: https://meet.google.com/knv-npqi-dmv
The agenda includes the formation or improvement of task-groups, to apply for the following funding opportunities:
Erasmus+: Projects focusing on the ethical and effective use of generative AI in education and training. This call aims to enhance the readiness and capacity of educational institutions to leverage generative AI in a human-centered and ethical manner. Activities funded include research, analysis, design, and piloting of AI applications in teaching and learning.
Wellcome Trust: Research on generative AI applications for anxiety, depression, and psychosis. This program supports fundamental research to improve the measurement or treatment of these mental health conditions using generative AI. Successful teams will explore optimizing generative models for mental health and collaborative approaches involving professionals and affected individuals.
As well as next Horizon call, and other opportunities to follow. Your expertise and insights are invaluable to the success of these initiatives. Should you be unable to attend the meeting, we welcome your contributions via email or through our network platform: https://health.int.eu.org/
Let us continue to
work together towards a more equitable and health-conscious
global society. Thank you for reading, thanks for joining in
if you wish, reconnecting if long without doing so. My
apologies for double posting, if this has been the case. We
have thousands of experts invited this time around, as we need
to nail our shared proposals and bring in, full force,
committed experts like you to share the rewards and achieve
more meaningful contributions from here on. Thanks again.
