The project proposals on disease prevention should focus on developing guidelines and best practice recommendations for addressing the main public health diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases, building on existing work.

Projects on injury should prioritise

    • develop and implement safety management schemes for high risks sports activities in collaboration with European sports associations;

    • develop action-oriented tools, in close cooperation with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Workf1; to address injury prevention among young employees;

    • support implementation actions towards the development of national action plans on child safety, with an emphasis on advocacy and intensive communication;

    • promote information and knowledge exchange through expert panels, consultation and by providing a sustainable ‘clearing house’ type of activity on good practices.
