💚 Step by step, system by system - with young people and green communities, building a more sustainable future!

⭕ 1 in 7 young people aged 10–19 is living with a mental health condition right now

But here's what the research also tells us: Active young people are 20–30% less likely to experience depressive symptoms. The more structured and regular the movement, the stronger the effect - on mood, on anxiety, on resilience.

🟢 Sport isn't just a hobby. For many young people, it's the space where confidence grows, self-esteem builds, mood lifts, and friendships form.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, the question isn't whether sport matters for mental health. The evidence is clear.

The real question is: how do we build ecosystems where young people actually have access to it❓

That's exactly what Sports and Health Innovation Accelerator (SHIA project) is built for - bridging universities, innovation hubs, and industry to create environments where sport- and health-tech solutions can emerge and grow.

Step by step. System by system. Healthier ecosystems for healthier and happier generations 🏃

If you support women entrepreneurs - this is for you!

🩷 On 22nd May, we’re hosting the Final Presentation of the WomenESEPack project, and anyone working with women entrepreneurs across Europe is warmly invited.

Real insights from the field: hear directly from participants and trainers about what worked, what surprised us, and what we'd do differently across countries.

A clear path to adoption: learn exactly how your organisation can integrate WomenESEPack into your existing services. It's free. It's ready. And it's yours to use.

Doors to collaboration: discover what comes next and how we can keep working together beyond the project's lifetime.

🔭 This Month is dedicated to citizen science, and we are celebrating bridging academia to community!

Citizen science means opening the doors of the scientific process to everyone - not just professionals in labs. Volunteers contribute to data collection, analysis, problem definition, and even shaping the solutions themselves.

The result ❓ Science that is faster, more grounded in reality, and trusted by the communities it serves.

Because here's what researchers and policymakers often overlook: people closest to a problem have a lot more information than any expert, and often see the simplest, most effective path to solving it as well.

🔎 This is exactly the vision behind ENTER - our Erasmus+ project building bridges between universities and local communities in India and Malaysia to access local environmental data. Through citizen science pilots and living labs ENTER is proving that when academia and society co-create, better decisions follow.

🙌 Science has always belonged to humanity. It's time we, as citizens, keep in mind that we are just as important to science as science is important to us.

👉 Follow us to see how ENTER is putting this vision into practice, step by step, system by system, building a more sustainable future!

Creativity Shows Who We Are - and What We Value 💡

On April 21, the world celebrates World Creativity and Innovation Day - a global UN day dedicated to raising awareness about the power of creativity and innovation in solving the challenges that matter most.
