JUNE 29, 2023 BHH News

The Hub for Social and Health Innovation (HiSS) is pleased to announce that the 1st Unwanted Loneliness Challenge Call is now open!

The HiSS is a public initiative promoted by the Terrassa Health Consortium with the support of the Department of Health and the Department of Social Rights.

It was created with the aim of capturing and accelerating social and health innovation projects from all over the territory capable of transforming the Catalan health and social system.

Their mission is to accompany these projects to maximize their chances of being implemented in the system and have a real impact on citizens. To achieve this, the 10 selected projects will receive a personalized support service and funding of up to €80,000 for a period of 10 months. The call is open to all types of projects, whether they originate from the social or health sector, regardless of their nature: organizational model, technology-based, social or health interventions, etc. The only essential conditions are:

  • The project must demonstrate an impact on both the Catalan public social and health sectors.
  • The project must fit into the theme of the call, Unwanted Loneliness.

If you think your project could enter the call, don't think about it! The HiSS team is holding a webinar on June 30th at10 hrs, in order to explain in detail the entire call application and selection process. They will also leave space to resolve the doubts of all the people present. The cut-off date for presenting the projects is August 8th, but the winners won't be announced until October. You can see in the following image how the call is organize through upcoming months. Register now for the webinar, whether you can or cannot come, as they will send you the recording of the session.
