GRESAC: Towards a Greek STRIP Assistant Collaboration

With this funding request we want to financially enable our Greek academic colleague to visit Utrecht for 2 weeks, so that we may further significantly boost our increasingly fruitful collaborations. This proposal furthers the "STRIMP: Implementatie van de STRIP Assistent ter verbetering van de STRIP medicatiebeoordeling (STRIMP)" ZonMW/Goed Gebruik Geneesmiddelen – Stimulering Toepassing In de Praktijk (GGG – STIP Ronde 3) proposal, with projectnumber 848023001. We want to investigate with our invited Greek guest on how we can further the STRIPA-based research theme on Health Analytic Systems into the Greek healthcare system to help realise our joint research vision on Applied Data Science in Patient-centric Care as also recently published in (Spruit & Lytras, 2018). Furthermore, we want to explore how our findings can be translated into policymaking recommendations by liaising with policy-recommendations producing bodies, such as the OECD. We aim for our Greek colleagues to contribute and to collaborate locally with researchers interested in: (1) Patient Centric HealthCare (2) Smart Cities Research (3) Technology Driven Innovation and International Technology Transfer We thus target to promote contributions to the scientific domains of Data Science and Smart Cities and Smart Healthcare research. More specifically, our intention is to work collaboratively with our other colleagues in the investigation of the new era of Data Driven Smart Healthcare. To sum up these are the key activities during the stay: (a) Discussion and support of Utrecht University PhD students in their research, given our experience in editing top Academic Journals and International Projects (b) Provision of a speech and a workshop on the main theme of our research (c) Collaboration with Utrecht University members for joint editions and publications (d) Preparation of a draft project idea in the domain of Patient Centric Smart Healthcare, furthering the STRIMP project (e) Strategic Advising on International Exposure and Involvement of Utrecht University
