Other projects in our cluster
MELIORA
MELIORA is an EU-funded project committed to advancing breast cancer risk reduction
through innovative, evidence-based approaches. Centered on Multimodal Engagement and
sustainable Lifestyle Interventions enhanced by Artificial Intelligence, the initiative seeks to
drive meaningful and cost-effective behavioural change to lower breast cancer risk.
Aligned with established nutritional and lifestyle guidelines, MELIORA aims to promote
healthier, more sustainable habits by tackling key obstacles such as limited awareness, low
levels of digital and health literacy, and socio-demographic inequalities. Through a
combination of personalised support and scalable interventions, MELIORA aspires to
empower individuals and communities to take proactive steps toward breast cancer
prevention.
SUNRISE
SUNRISE is a European Union-funded initiative dedicated to the primary prevention of
cancer by promoting sustainable behaviour change during adolescence—a pivotal life stage
in which many health-related habits are established. Recognising the considerable publi
health and societal burden posed by cancer across Europe, the project seeks to equip young
people with the knowledge and skills required to make informed lifestyle choices that reduce
long-term cancer risk.
The programme integrates a validated digital intervention for smoking prevention with a suite
of innovative strategies, including peer-led social media campaigns, advertising literacy
education, gamified learning, and the use of social robots. These components are designed
to engage adolescents in a way that is both effective and appropriate to their cultural, socio-
economic, and environmental contexts.
