The impact of European Union funding on addressing real-world problems was a core theme at the session “European projects that transform communities: from Health and Social Inclusion to Digital and Environmental Transition “ in the Conference Cycle in European Studies at the Universidade de Coimbra, on November 10th 2025. The event provided a platform for SHINE 2Europe to highlight how EU-backed initiatives are translating policy into practical solutions for citizens.
SHINE presented a portfolio of EU-funded projects in which the company plays a key role, demonstrating their collective contribution to solving concrete problems across the continent, from enhancing digital services to improving social inclusion.
A featured example was CAREWAY, shared as an example of a EU-funded project designed to tackle gaps in health and cancer literacy across Europe.
Juliana Louceiro and Natália Machado, representing SHINE, detailed how CAREWAY and its impending project results are set to improve public understanding of cancer prevention, screening, and care pathways. The presentation highlighted CAREWAY’s commitment to improving health knowledge through accessible and inclusive methods.
The multi-day conference, hosted by the Universidade de Coimbra, served as an important academic engagement forum, reinforcing the link between European studies, policy implementation, and citizen-focused innovation.
