About the project:

Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) is a biomedical research program operating based on a public-private partnership, which is a form of cooperation between the European Commission and the pharmaceutical industry, represented by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). The project consortium consists of 40 institutions.

The main goal of the INNODIA project is to create a unique clinical database and biobank of patients at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes and newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, which will allow studying the relationship between the decrease in pancreatic beta cell function and immunophenotype, genotype and new biomarkers.

Translational approaches to disease modifying therapy of type 1 diabetes –  HARVESTing the fruits of INNODIA 

null

(akronim INNODIA Harvest)

Project carried out as part of the international program Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI)

Project implementation period: May  1st, 2020 – March 31st, 2024

Content-related project manager at SUM:  Przemysława Jarosz-Chobot , PhD, Professor (Head of the Department of Children’s Diabetology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice)

 About the project:

The INNODIA project, implemented at the Department of Children’s Diabetology, aims to create a unique clinical database and biobank of patients at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D) and patients with newly diagnosed T1D, which will allow studying the relationship between the decrease in pancreatic beta cell function and the immunophenotype, genotype and new biomarkers. The research is conducted by a consortium formed by 40 partners, including the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice represented by a team of employees of the Department of Children’s Diabetology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice,  under the leadership of Przemysława Jarosz-Chobot , PhD, Professor.

As part of the research network established in recent years, research related to the INNODIA Harvest project is also proposed, the purpose of which is to summarize the observations and results achieved so far in connection with the implementation of the INNODIA project. Project " Translational approaches to disease modifying therapy of type 1 diabetes –  HARVESTing the fruits of INNODIA" will enable its extension to experimental and clinical studies implementing new strategies to inhibit the progression of the disease to clinical type 1 diabetes in non-affected patients who have positive antibodies associated with type 1 diabetes destruction of pancreatic beta cells.

The grant agreement was concluded as part of the winning the 19th competition of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI2 JU) (H2020-JTI-IMI2-2019-19-single-stage). The project started on May 1st, 2020 and will last three years.

As with the INNODIA project, the voice of people living with diabetes and their families will be at the heart of INNODIA Harvest, so that the process of implementing new research results and making breakthrough changes in the treatment of the disease is patient-centred.

Innovative Strategies for Public Catering: the Expansion of the Sustainable Public Meal Toolkit

null

(akronim: StratKIT+)

Project carried out as part of the international program Interreg Baltic Sea Region

 Project implementation period: October  1st, 2022 – March 31st, 2024 (18 months)

Content-related project manager at SUM:  Katarzyna Brukało, PhD (Department of Health Policy, Faculty of Health Sciences in Bytom)

About the project:

The goal of the project is to further expand the toolkit for sustainable meals funded from public budgets (implemented as part of the StratKIT project) by adding new tools (possible small pilot activities), extending the network to other countries of the Baltic Sea Region - Sweden, Latvia and Lithuania. The activities will be included in one Work Package, which will include the following elements:

  • comprehensive management and communication,
  • searching for innovative ecological solutions to propose new tools,
  • promoting and strengthening the network of sustainable public meals,
  • the possibility of piloting existing and new tools,
  • adding new tools to the toolbox on sustainable public meals and translating them into national languages,
  • dissemination of the project in social media,
  • activities and clustering with other related projects.

Thanks to the project, the activities of the partners in the field of circular economy regarding a sustainable meal funded from public budgets will be promoted both nationally and internationally.
