Funding: 250.000k
Budget: 55.706k
Duration: 11/2024-04/2025
AIM
The aims of the ERUDiTE project are supported by literature in the field, highlighting a series of individual and community needs:
a) more theoretical knowledge of students / doctors / professions from allied health fields, about empathy and its favorable effect;
b) knowledge and use of self-assessment tools/capabilities (qualitative and quantitative) of empathy and interventions dedicated to its improvement
c) re-legitimization of empathy (communication skills) in the medical training curriculum, along with technical knowledge/competences;
d) The need for a set of recommendations/procedures, to be distributed to decision-makers in the academic environment,
for increasing knowledge about empathy and stimulating its implementation.
Equally, the project requires a transnational partnership supported by: a) lack of solid research and practice on this topic
across European universities; b) the usefulness of a database for future comparative data collection and analysis; c) the
high interest of the partner countries in developing an integrated set of tools and resources that could support the practice of
empathy in academic life.
MAIN RESULTS
1. The Empathy Manual (WP2)
A comprehensive, evidence-based resource for students, covering:

- Measure their own empathy levels.
- Access learning modules to improve empathy skills.

3. The Empathy Curriculum (WP4)
A structured educational program designed for medical and health universities to:
- Train students in empathy-based communication.
- Support university staff in fostering a culture of empathy.
- Provide long-term strategies for preventing burnout and emotional exhaustion.
4. The Empathy Toolkit for Decision-Makers (WP5)
A set of recommendations aimed at university leaders to help them:
- Develop policies that prioritize empathy education.
