TRACE Voices: Interview with Faculty of Technical Science

1- What has been your biggest challenge working on TRACE project? 

    As a technical partner, the biggest challenge for us was to grasp all the problems we are facing in Serbia, Portugal and Poland in the cancer screening process and identify possibilities to support this process.   

    2- How do you think the TRACE project can make a difference? 

    Some answers are yet to come! We are identifying the needs in different countries, trying to spot the ways we can support the screening process. However, tools that are proposed in the grant agreement: open training courses in local languages, literacy toolkits, Living Labs and TRACE Knowledge Hub with national/regional content are highly valuable, aiming to gather all stakeholders in the process and strengthen the regional ecosystems. TRACE should facilitate centralized information sharing and collaboration between different stakeholders. 

    3- For you, what is the main result that TRACE will deliver? 

      Living Labs and Knowledge and Innovation Hub with three independent national editions should provide sustainability of the project results, they should be kept alive and maintained in collaboration with regional stakeholders. Training materials should serve as well as a valuable resource. The networking and new collaboration among stakeholders in regional ecosystems! 

      4- We reached the 6-month mark of the project; how do you see the progress made in these months?  

        Lots have been done! It seems like major steps must be made in the first project year! Looking forward to the new challenges and fine-tuning on the way.
