During March 23rd -24th, 2026, the third TPM meeting of the consortium for the ERUDiTE project took place. The meeting was held in Germany at the TIME – Tübingen Institute for Medical Education in Tübingen.

The partners had the opportunity to discuss various issues related to the project and see the progress made on the work packages.

Emphasis was placed on WP3- Empathy Web Platform, which was in a final completion review, as well as on the next package, WP4- the Empathy Curriculum. Issues related to dissemination, the project budget, and project management were also discussed.

Ovidiu Popa-Velea and Raluca Gheorghe represented CDUMP, Magdalena Lazarewicz and Dorota Wtodarzyk from WUM, Anne Herrmann-Werner, Sophia Adam and Eva Eitler-Roosz from TU, and Christos Mettouris and Marios Kyprianou from UCY.

We were happy to participate in the 3rd Transnational Project Meeting of the eHELPED-iT project, held in Klaipeda, Lithuania 🇱🇹 on March 18–19, 2026.

The eHELPED-iT project aims to enhance electronic health literacy (eHL) among students and future healthcare professionals, empowering them to effectively access, understand, evaluate, and use digital health information in both academic and real-life contexts.

Over two productive days, partners came together to:
✔️ Review project progress and upcoming milestones
✔️ Advance the development of the eHealth Literacy (eHL) Web Platform
✔️ Shape the eHL Curriculum for students
✔️ Plan the upcoming Learning, Teaching & Training (LTT) activities
✔️ Strengthen dissemination strategies and future outreach

The meeting also provided valuable space for collaboration, reflection, and alignment across all work packages, ensuring we move forward with a shared vision.

Beyond the sessions, we had the opportunity to connect during a cultural tour of Klaipeda and a festive dinner, reinforcing the strong partnership behind the project.

Looking forward to the next steps in promoting electronic health literacy across Europe 🌍
