IMPLEMENTING MODI

Closed

IMMODI is a capitalisation of results project bringing together 12 partners coming from eight (8) different Countries, addressing a regional policy issue of shared relevance to the partnership as it is the access and development of e-government and e-health services in mountainous and rural regions and territories of the EU. The overall project objective will be to reduce the cultural and human gap characterizing the less accessible areas, helping to reduce the isolation of mountain/rural areas through the use of innovative technological tools and spreading the use of ICTs and innovative contents through the implementation of new public services and opportunities.The project will provide the appropriate institutional and political framework for demonstrating, discussing and agreeing ways of new services' implementation. It will support European policy developments related to e-government and e-health services in mountainous regions and, finally, it will help regional and local policies in the development of new services by defining concrete Action Plans for the implementation of the designated new services. Efforts will be concentrated on transferring new and sustainable services in the fields of e-government and e-health to mainstream OPs in the framework of these implementation instruments. 9 Action Plans (one for each of the participating regions) will be approved and commonly developed, sharing the same structure, but tailored by each of the regions according to their specific needs. Because of the specific focus in transferring practices into mainstream programmes, only MA or partners that could guarantee the involvement of the relevant bodies responsible for monitoring their OP were accepted to join the partnership. 10 good practices and services on e-government and 3 on e-health will be transferred in the framework of the project and constitute the good practices that will be taken as the project starting point. Some good practices come from the actual exportability of the findings and good practices that were produced by the MO.DI (Digital Mountains) Project and of the partners' stock of experiences fitting the regional OPs. The activities of IMMODI are mainly structured around three components: Component 1 Management and Coordination; Component 2 Communication and Dissemination; Component 3 Exchange of experience dedicated to the transfer of good practices into the Structural Funds mainstream OPs. A number of interregional events, technical workshops and political meetings with 'deep delegations', as well as the preparation of a cutting-edge guide on good practices and services of e-government and e-health are foreseen. The implementation will follow a 24 months multi-stage schedule and evaluation cycle with deliverables every 6 months.
