Furthermore, you will work towards guidelines for coorporation and collaboration between Health Data Access Bodies (HDABs, as defined in the EHDS regulation) and other parties, such as data holders, data users, other HDABs and EU level bodies.
Finally, you are expected to look for funding opportunities and take a lead in the drafting of project proposals to win European projects. You are able to quickly identify potential connections and synergies of funding opportunities with upcoming and running health initiatives in the unit. You contribute to communication about the projects and programmes, and our services and to relevant stakeholders, supported by our communications officer.
